Cooking
start
Deep in the Cup to mix the flour, cornstarch and baking powder, soda, sugar, mix well.
The butter should be very soft, I melted a little, it was the consistency like sour cream. Then to the flour weight in the middle, add the eggs, oil, vanilla, and gently mix the flour with the liquid mass in the middle, add the zest
Knead the dough
Roll the dough out with a rolling pin to a thickness of half a centimeter thick. Using cookie cutters (classic misticas usually round, but you can have what your heart desires, I used a round shape with a diameter B6 cm) to cut out dough circles.
Spread on a baking tray (on baking paper) circles (not too close to each other, as they slightly rise), bake in preheated 180 degrees for about 8-10 minutes (cookies should remain pale and not browned)., when baking it is important not to overdo in the oven, it should stay white, after 8 minutes, open the oven, lift one cookie if the bottom is SLIGHTLY Golden, then all is ready.
Then give the liver to cool a little and can be made for the Assembly. On the flat side of the finished, cooled cookies to put boiled condensed milk, the more milk the better), cover with another cookie, lightly pressing down. Get sandwich. Sides of the resulting "sandwich" to smear condensed milk with a small teaspoon and roll in coconut. as shown in the photo. I'm ready even cookies coated with powdered sugar
Ready
