Coconut and cinnamon cookies

125 g butter
1 dl sugar
1 egg
3,5 dl wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon vanilla sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon or 1 dl grated coconut*


Mix the soft butter and sugar until stiff. Add the egg. Add to dry ingredients, mix. Keep in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a sheet. Take the pieces by the mold.

Bake at +200 degrees C for 7 to 10 minutes.

*Note: I made double size dough and put to other part cinnamon, other one grated coconut.

I bet both varieties are delicious - especially with coffee or tea!

Coffee and Chocolate Cookies



Same recipe than above but leave cinnamon/coconut away and use 1 teaspoon espresso powder (add it to sugar and butter) and 50 g dark chocolate, finely chopped (I used dark chocolate with 86 % of cocoa) to flour.

You can use more chocolate, if you like stronger taste of it, like 100g or use chocolate chips.

When you bake them, the strong fragrance of chocolate will spread from the oven.

Another version - same dough:

Peppermint-Cocoa Cookies (with peppermint cane)

1 dl sugar
1 egg
3,5 dl wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon vanilla sugar

2 peppermint canes

Crush peppermint canes.

Mix the soft butter and sugar until stiff. Add the egg. Add peppermint extract. Add to dry ingredients, mix. Keep in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a sheet. Take the pieces by the mold.

Bake at +200 degrees C for 7 to 10 minutes.

Sprinkle crushed peppermint cane over the biscuits as soon as they are still hot.
