COCONUT SCONE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to combine.
• Grate the cold butter and add the butter shreds to the flour mixture. Use a fork to mix the butter into the flour until it's evenly dispersed and approximately pea-sized.
• Stir together 1/3 cup coconut cream, vanilla, and coconut extracts. Add the liquids and stir until a loose, dry dough forms. Add additional cream, only if needed. Gently fold in the coconut.
• Use a medium scoop to portion 12-18 balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Press the cookies together with your hands, if the dough is crumbling. Bake for 18-20 minutes and remove from the oven when very barely browned on the bottom, taking care not to brown the tops of the cookies.
• Transfer the cookies to a wire rack. While the cookies cool, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and coconut extract in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add more cream or milk, just a few drops at a time, as needed to thin the glaze.
• Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and immediately sprinkle with coconut. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

THE ULTIMATE COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
• In a food processor pulse together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter and pulse a few times until the mixture is crumbly. Add the shredded coconut and pulse 2-3 times, just to mix.
• Pour into a large bowl and add the coconut milk; using a spoon mix together until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
• Press into a 9-inch circle and cut into eighths. Place on baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are just slightly browned. Serve hot with a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk, with a pat of butter, or just plain!

COCONUT SCONES WITH COCONUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Make the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar and shredded coconut in a bowl. Beat in the butter with a mixer on low speed, then raise the speed to high and beat until the mixture is in coarse crumbles.
• Whisk the coconut milk, eggs and coconut extract in another bowl, then stir into theflour mixture until just combined. Stir in the pecans; do not overmix.
• Scoop 2-to-3-inch mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets (a large ice cream scoop works well for this). Sprinkle the tops with sugar and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the coconut milk, coconut and vanilla extracts and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth, adding more sugar as needed to thicken. Drizzle over the scones while still slightly warm.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, the 3 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of dry mixture; set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl combine egg, coconut milk, coconut, and chocolate pieces. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. On the prepared baking sheet, pat or lightly roll dough into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges; do not separate wedges. If desired, brush tops of scones with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Separate scones. Cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container or bag and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Makes 8 scones.

COCONUT FLOUR SCONES (OR BLOBS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• With an electric mixer, beat together eggs, egg whites, applesauce, honey, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, sift coconut flour and baking powder together (include the cinnamon at this time if you are using it), mix and add to first mixture.
• Beat thoroughly until batter runs smooth with no lumps. It'll be unsettlingly runny. You'll be convinced you've either done something wrong or I've totally messed up on my liquid measurements. Have faith, it'll be okay!
• By hand, mix in the berries/fruit/chocolate chips.
• Spoon the distressingly runny batter onto a nonstick (or lightly greased) cookie sheet, making blobs about three inches across. Don't worry, they'll puff up quite nicely! Leave room for them to expand and spread out, about two inches between them to be safe. Yes, I know they look flat. It's okay, honest.
• Place in oven and bake for 8-14 minutes. I know ovens vary so keep an eye on them. When they are lightly browned around the edges, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before attempting to move them onto a cooling rack. Use a very flat spatula to take them off the sheet, but do so slowly, they crumble easily when warm.
• Enjoy!

COCONUT ALMOND SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpats.
• In a large bowl, sift the flour with the sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the lemon rind. Using two knives or a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is evenly incorporated and there are no large chunks. Grate the almond paste and mix it into the flour mixture with ½ cup of the flaked coconut.
• In a medium bowl, beat the coconut milk, egg and almond extract until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and beat with a spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Knead 5 or 6 turns to get a nice consistency. The dough should be firm enough to roll out but still delicate, not stiff or dry.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 3/4 inch thickness. Either cut into triangles with a baking wedge or use a cookie cutter to cut shapes. Place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup of coconut.
• Bake for 18 minutes, or until they are a light golden brown and spring back to the touch.
• Makes about 22 scones.
