Sometimes a light and not TOO sweet cookie is all you need, and there is something that will "blow your socks off" for their simplicity and their deliciousness (this HAS to be a word).
This recipe makes approx 48, you can make smaller batches, but why would you deprive yourself?
PREHEAT OVEN 375F
The secret is to use unsalted dairy butter and unsweetened (organic if poss.) shaved coconut.
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks room temp. butter ( 8ozs)
Cream together until light and fluffy
Add 3 large eggs well beaten and whip in ( this mix may curdle it is fine)
Beat in 3 tsp good vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt ( OR 1/4 tsp reg salt)
IN another bowl mix together well,
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups quick-cook (not instant) oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup raw wheat germ
1/4 cup wheat bran
Fold this into the egg mix and beat well.
Beat in 1 cup shaved coconut.
Using a tsp. form into walnut sized balls..the mix will be sticky, so keep some water handy to dip fingers into.
Dip the balls into granulated sugar and place on ungreased baking sheets 1 inch apart.
BAKE FOR 10-12 MINS OR UNTIL BASES & TOPS ARE LIGHTLY TINGED WITH CARAMEL COLOR.
Do not overbake as they will crisp up, on cooling.
Remove from oven and cool on tray then transfer to wire rack.
These are fabulous "almost little cakes", and go perfectly with any meal/snack time.
Store in airtight containers...yeah right you might have some to store after the taste testers try them!
