Method
- Pour the egg into a bowl. Add the brown sugar to it, and using a mixer, beat these ingredients thoroughly until the initial volume has approximately tripled.
- Then mix the grated coconut and vanilla sugar into the fluffy egg mixture.
- Next, add the amaranth flour. Stir everything well.
- We have a very sticky and soft dough. Divide it into 7 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Place the pieces on a Teflon mat (parchment paper) and press lightly. We decided to make small cookies (about the size of a walnut). Carefully move the mat with the cookies to a baking sheet and place them in a preheated oven (180 °C) for about 25-27 minutes.
- Coconut amaranth cookies are ready.
- It turned out incredibly aromatic and delicious.
