Today I’m sharing another recipe which my mother used to make when we were kids. One of my favorite snacks. These are not too sweet but delicious at the same time. A perfect tea time snack for all to enjoy. Substitute the butter in the recipe with Vegan butter to make this Vegan friendly. Do try these out.

- 2 cup All purpose flour wheat flour
- 1½ tsp Baking powder

- Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine bread crumbs.

- Add a Tbsp of milk at a time and knead to a stiff dough.(I used 3 Tbsp)
- Roll out the dough into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle.
- Trim the sides.
- Brush with water and top with the desiccated coconut and sugar.
- Cut into 1 inch x 3 inch fingers and transfer to a cookie sheet.
- Bake in a 350 F preheated oven for 20 – 25 mins keeping a close eye after 15 mins. ** Cool completely on the cookie sheet.
- Crunchy and delicious coconut cookies ready to enjoy with your cup of tea/coffee :)…
Notes
- If desiccated coconut is not available, you can slightly dry roast fresh coconut on low flame, don’t wait for the color to change.
- **To bake on the stovetop in a Kadai or Pressure cooker** Take a big pot, put a wire rack or inverted steel bowl, then cover with a lid and pre-heat for 5-10 mins on medium flame. Place the cookies on a small tray or pan, cover the Kadai and bake on low flame for 20-25 mins until golden brown. (If using a pressure cooker, do not use the rubber gasket and weight.)

Love One Another
“A new command I give you: … As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34
By offering a command here, Jesus did not focus on the feeling of love, but on the decision to love. Jesus knew that we would not always feel like loving each other, so he commanded it. Love is first a decision, not an emotion.
But a command to love is not easy to obey. That’s why it’s good news to hear that this is a “new command.” What’s new is that Jesus has given us a model for this love through his own ministry. We are to love, Jesus says, “as I have loved you.” In his love for us, Jesus was willing to die for us. In community with him, we discover the power to love sacrificially too.
Why is now the best time to express love? Because you don’t know how long you’re going to get the opportunity to do it. Circumstances change. People die. Children grow up and leave home.
You’re not guaranteed a tomorrow. If you’re going to express love, you’d better do it now. - Rick warren
God Bless you!
