👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the coconut, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. 3
    Add the flax eggs, oil and extract and mix into a soft dough.
  4. 4
    Roll tablespoons of dough into balls the size of a small walnut and place on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
    Baking pan
    💡Roll with damp hands: the soft dough won't stick, and the balls come out smooth.
  5. 5
    Bake 15–18 minutes, until the cookies are golden at the edges.
    ⚙ BakingOvenBaking pan
    💡Cookies that look too soft coming out of the oven firm up as they cool. Take them out when just the edges are golden.
    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  6. 6
    Let cool completely before serving.
