Chocolate and Coconut Half Moon Cookies

Who doesn’t love chocolate cookies and coconut cookies? It will be so cool if we get to eat it together in a single cookie. Guys I’m going to share my recipe for these super easy and delicious cookies. It’s a merge of a chocolate cookie and coconut cookie, and it looks like a half moon so I’ve named them Half moon cookies.

Here’s the full recipe recipe for the same:

Prep time: 40 mins

Total time: 1 hour

  • 250 gms butter (1 & 1/8 cups)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • 2 cups flour
  • 50 gm cocoa powder
  • 50 gm desiccated coconut
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips( or cut your favorite chocolate bar into small pieces).

Method:

Preheat the oven to 220° Celsius

For double chocolate cookie dough

  1. In a large bowl, mix together 125 gms butter with 1 cup sugar, whisk it until a creamier consistency.
  2. Add 1 egg and a teaspoon of vanilla essence.
  3. Blend in the cocoa powder and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, salt and mix well.
  4. Add 1 cup flour into the creamy mixture and fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. The double chocolate chip cookie dough is ready, now keep it in a refrigerator

For coconut cookie dough

  1. Mix 1 cup flour with 1/2 tsp baking soda and salt.
  2. Take another bowl and whisk 125 grams butter and 1 cup sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and continue whisking.
  3. Add 2 drops of vanilla essence.
  4. Fold in the flour mixture and add the desiccated coconut.
  5. Keep this cookie dough in the refrigerator.

Merging the cookie doughs

  1. When both the doughs are chilled, remove them from the fridge and make small round balls of it.
  2. Combine two dough balls from each dough and merge them and press slightly so that they are glued enough nicely.
  3. The cookie should have a half dark brown colour and half creamy colour.
  4. Take a baking tray and place parchment paper on it.
  5. Allign the cookies on the tray and bake them at 180° Celsius for 10 to 12 minutes.
  6. Cool them on a rack and store in airtight containers.
  7. Finish them within a week. (I doubt that)

I made quite a large size of cookies and they were delicious, the coconut one melted in mouth whereas the other was super chocolaty and chewy.
