Cooking method
Do you want to delight yourself with delicious pastries and not get better at the same time? It's possible! Cookies with coconut chips or flour are a great option for a delicious dessert with health benefits.
Replacing wheat flour with coconut is an ideal solution for those who want to lose extra pounds, and for those who simply adhere to a healthy diet, because it is a gluten–free product. Coconut has 10 times more fiber than regular flour, and it is not inferior to it in terms of protein content. Useful fatty lauric acid, which is contained in the chips, also has an antibacterial effect. When baking, it is worth considering the high hygroscopicity of coconut – in accordance with its properties, it will absorb much more liquid than the flour we are familiar with.
If the chips seem to you a rough base for cookies, it can be passed through a coffee grinder and ground into flour, but then the amount of coconut will need more than specified in the recipe – vary based on the consistency of the dough. But according to my personal feelings, this should not be done.
The cooking process is extremely simple and fast:
Whisk the whites to a foam. Sugar (sweetener I have Milford 7 crushed tablets, but you can have less) is mixed with coconut chips, add vanillin (you can not put it, to taste). Gradually, stirring, we introduce the mixture into the proteins.
We cover the baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat and with the help of two tablespoons we spread our coconuts in small pyramids.
We send it for 15-20 minutes in the oven, preheated to a temperature of 160 degrees. After 10, start checking the cookies for readiness, so as not to over-dry. And now our delicacy is ready with benefits for the figure, unless of course you replace sugar with a sweetener. Who is on a diet or adheres to proper nutrition, I think they will understand me. Sometimes I really want sweets. And this cookie is just a lifesaver, but one, but, for coconut lovers. I really liked this cookie. Bon appetit to all and plumb on the scales
