Cooling Cookies

Just waiting for the cookies to cool before I can put them away. They are Crispy Coconut Cookies and they are light, airy and delicious! Simple ingredients and they are easy to make. Found the recipe at http://easilygoodeats.blogspot.com/2011/04/crispy-coconut-cookies-recipe.html and made an addition of ingredient.

Ingredients
2 cups flour, sifted
1 cup butter
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon golden or dark syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, can also substitute with coconut extract)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
** Added 1/8 cup of sesame seeds

Direction
1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees
2. Cream butter and sugar until creamy and pale
3. Add egg, syrup and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly
4. Sift flour, baking soda and baking powder, add to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated
5. Add coconut and mix until incorporated
6. Place small balls on a greased cookie sheet and flatten slightly
7. Bake until cookies are golden brown and delicious, about 15 minutes

Personal Notes:
Turn the cookie tray half way baking for even baking
If cookies are browning before 15 mins cover loosely with foil - you need that 15 minutes to crisp the middle of the cookies
I like the cookies thin so I press them to be thinner

Just had too many for test tasting ;)
