Coconut biscuits - from my first cook book

This recipe is more than 30 years old, and I still bake these biscuits at least once a year (Christmas/New Year). Easy and delightful!
Added on 4/11/10 - I feel I had to explain about this recipe...
My parents got visitors visa for Australia in 1997... They brought some of my personal things/belongings with them. One of them was this recipe book, which I started writing at the age of 10-12. So, it survived civil war in Bosnia,...It traveled 20 000 km,...and it's still in use. It has no price!

Ingredients:
250 g butter, softened
6 tbs caster sugar
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
200 g coconut, grated
300 g plain flour
Some icing sugar for dusting

Method:
Beat butter, sugar and egg whites until incorporated, add coconut and flour and make a soft dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes, then roll 1 tbs of dough in your palms, forming crescents. Bake 10-15 minutes on 160*C. Dust with icing sugar.
These can last up to 6 weeks in a cool, dry spot.





Kokos kiflice iz moje prve zbirke recepata

Kada su moji roditelji dobili vizu da me posjete u Australiji (1997), donijeli su mnogo mojih osobnih stvarcica koje sam voljela. Ipak najdraza mi je bila ova sveska - moja prva zbirka recepata koje sam pocela skupljati sa svojih 12-13 godina. Eto ta sveska, koja prezivi i rat, pa prevali 20 000 km da se ponovo nadje samnom, jos uvijek sluzi svojoj svrsi. Da nabrojim nekoliko naslova iz tog vremena (1980)..'Napoleonova torta, Coca-cola kocke, Semafori, Plazma torta, Salama, Kucni prijatelj, Medenjaci'... Kokos kiflice su jedan od najdrazih i jos uvijek pozeljnih "tridesetogodisnjaka".

Potrebno:
250 gr putera, omeksalog
6 kasika secera
2 bjelanca, lagano umucena
200 gr koksa
300 gr brasna
malo secera u prahu
Priprema:
Izradite puter sa secerom i bjelancima.
Dodajte kokos i brasno, umijesite tijesto.
Nakon 20-ak minuta odmora, pravite male kuglice, koje cete izmedju dlanova oblikovati u valjke koje malo savijete (kao polumjesece).
Pecite na niskoj temperaturi (160*C) 10-15 min, da ostanu ‘blijede’.
Uvaljajte u prah secer – spremno za sluzenje!
Ove kokos kiflice mogu trajati do 6 sedmica .
