TRINIDADIAN SUGAR COOKIES
Ingredients:
4 cups grated coconut
1 Cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon almond flavoring
Few drops of food coloring (very few or you'll have fluorescent!)Cooking Instructions:
- Boil sugar and water to form a light syrup.
- When bubbles the size of small pearls appear, add grated coconut and cream of tartar.
- When the coconut mixture comes away from the sides of the pan easily, remove from heat and beat with a spoon for 3-5 minutes.
- Add essence and food coloring and mix well.
- Drop by spoonfuls on an oiled cookie or enamel tray.
- Allow to harden completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
Additional Comments:
You can divide the mixture into batches before Step 4 and add a different color to each batch. It looks really pretty in a glass cookie jar after its finished. In spite of the high sugar content, this is a really popular snack with parents for the kids. It's quick & easy. There aren't any preservatives.
