WHOLE WHEAT COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175°C Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. The dough is quite stiff and crumbly, but you should still be able to form it into balls that stick together.
• Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on the cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for a while and then transfer carefully on a wire rack to cool completely (the cookies are very fragile when hot).
• Dust warm cookies with powdered sugar.
