Today we're making a Christmas recipe for White Chocolate-Coconut Cookies that was sent in by jake dah' man

You'll need:

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 1/4 cups plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 3/4 cup shredded coconut flakes

For garnish:
• 230 grams white chocolate, melted
• 3/4 cup toasted, shredded coconut flakes

The first thing to do is get some help and or permission to preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Then in a small mixing bowl, mix together the baking powder, baking soda, flour and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy and then beat in the egg.

Now add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined then put in the oats, vanilla extract and shredded coconut flakes.

Form walnut-sized balls of the mixture and drop 6cm apart onto baking paper covered trays.

Then bake in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. (don’t forget your oven mitts here!)

Now take your cookies out of the oven and let them cool completely.

The next thing to do is to get some help and or permission to melt your white chocolate. I just melted mine the microwave but you can also use a small pot and a hot plate.

Now you dip your cookies halfway into the melted white chocolate and then into the toasted shredded coconut flakes like so.

Set them down onto baking paper-covered trays and allow them to dry - completely.

Yum! These are fantastic! Perfect for wrapping up in some cellophane and hanging on the Christmas tree as Christmas day treats! 5 mmm mm mmms out of five!

Great work ! jake dah' man - you da man!
