It’s #CookieFriday again! Yaaay! And guess what?! I have another awesome guest! :)
As you know, I asked several food bloggers around the globe (well almost – more like all over Germany and Austria) to join me for Cookie Friday. So today you have the chance to meet Sia from Sia’s Soulfood. She made some delicious looking cookies with one of my favorite flavor combinations: Lemon and coconut! Mmmmm… :)
Dear Bake to the roots fans,
I´m very pleased to be Marc’s guest today. Marc’s Cookie Friday blows my mind ;-) and I love the idea to create variant cookie recipes each friday. That´s why I´m excited to share a cookie recipe with you today.
But first let me introduce myself :-) My name is Sia and I am blogging since 2014 on Sia´s Soulfood. My blog is all about soulfood. Food for body, mind and soul, whether sweet or hearty. You are heartily welcome to visit my soulfood blog.
Now it´s about Cookies time, right? :-) I have some delicious lemon coconut cookies. The cookie dough is done very quickly, the cookies are ready in a second and will be eaten up in the next second. I really love the combination of lemon and coconut. So if you love this combination too you have to taste these cookies.
I hope you like my lemon coconut cookies :-) Dear Marc I thank you so much for allowing me to be your guest today.
It was my pleasure.
Bye bye, Sia
What can I say Sia – you are more than welcome back anytime you want – especially when your are bringing along such delicious cookies! :) Thanks for being part of the Cookie Friday! May the Cookie Monster be with you! :P

2. Mix butter, sugar and salt in a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Stir in flour and baking soda. Add lemon cest, lemon juice and coconut flakes and mix.
3. Use two teaspoons to form 12 dough balls and place about 2 inches apart onto the baking sheet – flatten a bit. Dust the cookies with the remaining coconut flakes. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes – until slightly browned on the edges. Leave on the tray for a couple minutes to firm up and then transfer to a cooling rack.
2. Butter, Zucker und Salz schaumig rühren. Das Ei und Vanille Extrakt hinzufügen und gut unterrühren. Mehl mit Backpulver vermischen und zur Butter-Zucker-Mischung hinzufügen und kurz unterrühren bis alles gut vermengt ist. Nun die Kokosraspel und die Zitronenschale und den Zitronensaft unterrühren.
3. Mit Hilfe von zwei Teelöffeln 12 Klekse mit Abstand auf ein mit Backpapier belegtes Blech setzen und etwas flach drücken. Mit den restlichen Kokosraspeln bestreuen und die Cookies auf der mittleren Schiene für etwa 10-12 Minuten backen. Die Cookies aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst auf dem Blech ein paar Minuten, dann auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen.

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
