Then take a small portion of dough and roll it into a ball, flatten the dough slightly with the help of your palm and coat it with desiccated coconut.

(Note: Don’t flatten the cookie dough too much)

Top tips

✔️Butter can be substituted with coconut oil, unsalted butter ghee, or any flavorless oil.

✔️Normal powdered sugar can be substituted with brown sugar or powdered jaggery.

✔️Don’t use coconut flakes as they can’t be easily mixed with the dough because they are too large compared to desiccated coconut.

✔️Keep an eye while baking as every oven/OTG temperature may vary. Do not overcrowd.

✔️Store it in an airtight container at normal room temperature for 3 to 4 days. In the refrigerator it stays good for a week.
