Guyanese Coconut Buns image

Untested by me, posted for ZWT III. From allrecipes.com UPDATE: CulinaryQueen was the guinea pig on these and has added various notes and changes. Please note, although the title of these are 'Buns' they spread out like a very flat cookie.

Time 25m

Yield 48 buns

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, cut into pieces
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/180°C.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter, and cut in using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Add coconut, and mix just enough to blend.
  • Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2-3 inches apart as they really spread.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on these as they will burn if left in too long.
  • Transfer to a cooking rack immediately or else they will stick to the pan.
  • Cookies are soft with crunch edges at first but get completely crunchy upon cooling.
