Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
- Stir in the grated coconut, vanilla, and lime zest, if using. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet in rough heaps, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and set around the edges.
Optional Sugar Glaze
- For an optional glaze, dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar in just enough water. Brush over the coconut drops while they're still warm. You can also use ginger simple syrup.
Nutrition
Notes
Some people like to add raisins. You can add 1/2 cup raisins when you are mixing in your grated coconut.
You can add some cherries to the top of each mound before baking.
If you want pretty drops, add mixed peel instead of raisins. Optional: While the coconut drops are still warm, brush the tops with sugar glaze or ginger simple syrup for a glossy finish
