Coconut followers, this cookie is for you. I like these with a cup of sizzling, sweetened, milky black tea. Bolinhas, as they’re referred to as in Goa, are crunchy and crisp, stuffed with coconut aroma and sweetness. You might discover that this cookie makes use of pound cake ratios to come back collectively. I strongly advocate utilizing a model of desiccated coconut with a powerful coconut aroma, or use a good-quality coconut extract. I exploit the fine-grade (No. 1) semolina flour; the smaller particle measurement eliminates the necessity to soak the cookie batter earlier than baking as is classically achieved with the coarser selection utilized in India.
