How to make Eggless Coconut Cookies (Eggless & Easy)

Eggless Coconut Cookies Recipe – Easy, delicious, crunchy from outside and soft from within. No butter used for these coconut cookies. Great for vegetarians and people with egg allergies. For some reason, coconut cookies have been my favorite since childhood the ones you get them in any Indian bakery.

Make a lot of coconut cookies hence, this time posted this recipe. Have already shared Baath cake recipe made from coconut and semolina a famous Goan delicacy.

I had planned to meet up my office friend whom I met after a few years. So decided to make these goodies for my friend. He loved them and gobbled them all also complimented saying you are in the right profession. That’s a huge compliment and appreciation for me as a food blogger.

To be a good cook or baker one has to keep checking or tasting the food. Then only you would come to know what is missing or is excess in your food. Next step is filling the missing taste or altering the excess spice or salt. If you master this no one could stop you from being a good cook.

I have used desiccated coconut for these cookies. Also added some pistachio flakes  for nutty flavor. To add some fragrance used cardamom powder which goes well with this recipe. I haven’t added any butter instead used organic coconut oil which gives a great flavor to these cookies. If you like butter go ahead and add them. One more secret ingredient is rice flour which aids in crispy texture for these cookies.

Let’s make eggless coconut recipe step by step:

1. Ssift flour, baking powder, salt and rice flour.

2. Beat coconut oil with powdered sugar until soft and smooth.

3. Fold the sifted flour into the mixture.

4. Once flour is folded fold the desiccated coconut and pistachio.

5. Add cardamom powder. If the mixture looks too dry then add 1tbsp water. Freeze the dough for 10 mins.

6. Now make small balls and flatten them gently.

7. Place them in a greased baking dish leaving some space amongst them. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 mins before baking. Bake at 170°C for 16-17 mins or until edges looks baked or slightly brown in color.

8. Allow them to cool down then store them in an air-tight container.

9. Serve your eggless coconut cookies warm or chilled with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
