Coconut-Choc Scrolls


I must tell ya, these cookies smell and taste great!! I got this recipe from Cooking Ninja and it was love at first sight, hahah… I knew I would definitely fall for these cookies ;-)

And I am right!!! The aromatic smell of the coconut filled my kitchen and I couldn’t help myself and had to grab one while it was still hot. The mixture of Nutella and coconut was great!! Love it!!! I gave some to my fellow colleagues and they loved them too! Thanks cooking Ninja

Coconut-Choc Scrolls
Ingredients
234 g or 2 cups plain flour
50 g or ½ cup dry grated coconut
100 g butter (cubed)
½ cup caster sugar
1 egg (lightly beaten)
2 tbsp iced water
chocolate hazelnut spread
some extra dry grated coconut

Directions

Very lightly brown the 50 g grated coconut in a pan.
Place the grated coconut and flour in food processor bowl; add butter and sugar. Using the pulse action, press button for 30 seconds or until mixture is fine and crumbly.
Add egg and 2 tbsp water; process a further 20 seconds until mixture forms a dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 30 seconds or until smooth.
Roll pastry out on a large sheet of baking paper, to a rectangle. Trim any uneven edges. $
Sprinkle dry grated coconut all over the hazelnut spread.
Using paper to lift dough, roll up from the long side in Swiss roll style. Wrap tightly in paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Using a very sharp knife, cut dough into 1 cm slices. Place it on biscuit trays with baking paper.
Bake at 180°C (350°F - gas mark 4) for 15 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
