📝 Preparation Steps
1
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and vanilla until light and fluffy, ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, beat until combined and the dough begins to form a ball. If the dough is crumbly, add 1 tablespoon water until the dough comes together.3. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Make sure you're using enough flour or your dough will stick. Cut the cookies using a 3 inch circle cookie cutter. Using a 1 inch circle cookie cutter, cut out the center of each cookie. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Roll out the leftover scraps, and repeat until all the dough has been used. Bake the cookies for ⏱️ 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet ⏱️ 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.4. In a medium pot, combine 3/4 cup maple syrup and the coconut cream and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil ⏱️ 5-8 minutes or until thickened to a caramel-like sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in the tahini. Let the mix cool slightly, then stir in the toasted coconut. Press 1 tablespoon of the coconut mixture onto each cookie. Place the cookies in the freezer for ⏱️ 15-20 minutes to chill, this will make dipping them in chocolate easier. 5. Melt the chocolate. Dip the bottoms of the cookies in the chocolate and return to the parchment lined baking sheet. Use a fork to drizzle the tops with chocolate, return to the freezer to let the chocolate set up, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Keep stored in the fridge or at room temperature for up to 1 week.
