Coconut Cream Tapioca Cookie (Kueh Bangkit)

Revisiting this tapioca cookie which I last did 10 years ago! I did some adjustment to the old recipe by adding in some organic coconut oil. These delicate cookies turned out really aromatic and coconuty! This is one of the CNY cookies which I could not stop popping them into my mouth >0<. Even my kids love this coconut tapioca cookies. Not an easy task to make this cookies, from baking the raw flour to sifting it and rest it for a few days before using it. On the day of baking, the flour mixture is then mixed with icing sugar, coconut milk, yolks and coconut oil and knead into a firm dough. Another step to go.....rest the dough for another 1 hour before rolling out and stamp out the cookie for baking! Try baking this aromatic coconut cookie if you are adventure enough but is really worth the effort. ^0^
