Almond-Coconut Cookies(Eggless)

I was elated and over-the-top when I made my first cookie.Though I was armed with a cookie cookbook and my fluctuating confidence,I set about making them and fortunately the cookies came out great.I came across many wonderful recipes for cookies and have tried many of them successfully.As I’ve said many times before,the Butter cookies are the best of the lot and they come out great and taste wonderful each and everytime I make it.

Many of the readers and my fellow bloggers have asked me how I make Eggless cookies and get good results.I am a beginner baker and have no idea how it comes out great,but one thing I know,I would always make it eggless.I don’t mind adding/having cakes/brownies with eggs,but when it comes to cookies,its an absolute NO.

A dear friend,Purnima-one who constantly encourages and appreciates me told me that the butter in the cookie is what makes it expand.So who needs the eggs..??She was the one who gave me the link to Pravs and asked me to try out this recipe.Her encouraging words work like magic and this recipe worked like magic too!!The flavour of the Coconut and nutty taste of Almonds make this cookie a super-duper HIT!!Thanks so much dear dearest Purnima..you are simply superb!!

Recipe Source - Pravs of Simply Spicy

Cookies will look mushy straight out of the oven,leave them to cool on a wire rack and they will become crunchy.

  17. Am so glad to see an egg less cookie recipe as my husband is allergic to egg. Thanks for the recipe and I made it today and it came out kinda ok for a first timer. This is the first ever cookie i have made and i really liked the way it melts in my mouth...don't know if that is how it was meant to be in the original recipe. Looking forward to more egg less recipes
