Crunchy Coconut Cookies

Extremely easy and it turns out well, the first time!!!
I will write the ingredients for this recipe.
All-Purpose flour: 1/2 cup
Sugar: 1/2 Cup
Grated[dry] coconut: 3 1/2 cups
Baking Powder: 1/2 tspn
Salt: a pinch
Eggs: 2
Ghee: 2 tspn [optional]
Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp

Let's start the fun - Crunchy Coconut Cookies
1. Heat oven at 350 F
2. Sift the salt, baking powder and all-purpose flour together in a bowl
3. In a blender, mix the sugar and eggs till a paste of thick consistency is formed [you may add the ghee to the blender at this stage]
4. Add the vanilla drops and blend once more
5. Now add the flour mix to the blender and mix well for 1-2 minutes. Use spatula to fold in the mixture
6. Finally add the grated coconut and mix nicely again. Please note, the final mixture will be of thick consistency such that you can roll them into balls in your hand.
7. Spray some oil on an oven safe sheet / tray
8. Pour nuggets of the cookie mixture on the sheet. Remember to keep distance of 1" or so between the cookies. They will expand when heated.
9. Put the tray in oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

It takes about 10 minutes to do the entire preparation. A very easy recipe that turns out very well. I am waiting for Shekhar to come home and surprise him with my cookies
