About Coconete
Clara Gonzalez's coconetes are rustic Dominican coconut cookies, also called conconetes or masitas. She describes them as familiar corner-store treats, with a coarse texture and plenty of grated coconut.
Brown sugar and salted butter are beaten together before eggs, coconut and all-purpose flour join the dough. Baking soda, cinnamon and salt complete the mixture, which is spooned into small mounds for baking.
The cookies cool to room temperature before serving. Dominican coffee brewed in a greca accompanies them, with sugar to taste and optional nutmeg in the coffee.
