Yields24 Servings
Cookie dough:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup graham crumbs
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed golden sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Filling:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups icing sugar
2 Tbsp Bird’s Custard Powder
2 Tbsp cream, milk or coconut milk (+ more if needed)
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
Drizzle:
1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
1 Tbsp butter or coconut oil
1

Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, graham crumbs, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

2

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes, until fluffy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. On low speed or using a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients, along with the coconut and walnuts.

3

Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place a couple inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your thumb or the handle of a wooden spoon to create an indentation in each cookie.

4

Bake for about 14 minutes, until just set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

5

To make the frosting, beat the butter, icing sugar, custard powder, cream and vanilla (if you're using it) until smooth and fluffy, adding a bit more cream or icing sugar as needed to create a soft, spreadable frosting. Place in a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip, or in a zip-lock bag; seal and and cut off one corner.

6

Pipe some frosting into each cooled cookie. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave in 10 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip the cookies halfway into the chocolate to coat, or drizzle them with a fork. Set back on the cooled baking sheets and let them set. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

    You can keep yourself and your family close being alert when buying medicine online. Some pharmacy websites control legally and sell convenience, solitariness, bring in savings and safeguards over the extent of purchasing medicines. buy in TerbinaPharmacy https://terbinafines.com/product/atarax.html atarax
