COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat the butter in a large bowl using an electric whisk or in a stand mixer until very soft. Beat in both sugars and the vanilla until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg until just combined. Sift in the flour and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Fold in 100g of the toasted coconut.
• Roll the dough into 14-16 balls (about 45g each) and arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, well spaced apart. Flatten each slightly using the palm of your hand and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Leave to cool on the sheet briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Break the chocolate into pieces and tip into a heatproof bowl, then melt in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, stirring until smooth. Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then lay on a sheet of baking parchment and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut. Leave to set for about 30 mins.

LIBBIE'S COCONUT APPLE STRIPS

Steps:

• Sift flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together.
• Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Add 3 tablespoons water and 3 tablespoons cream together until blended.
• Turn onto a floured board.
• Roll out to fit a 15x10 inch pan; I would use a 9x13 pan. This is a very old recipe and they used different pans back then.
• Arrange 8 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced,) on dough sprinkled with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
• Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
• Bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Blend together 1 egg slightly beaten, 1/2 cup cream (sweet or sour), 1/2 cup sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 2 cups coconut, flaked.
• Spoon this mixture over apples.
• Bake 20 minutes more 375 degrees Fahrenheit. No temperature was given so I am guessing.
