Baking With Dorie: Coconut Domes
Whenever someone tells me they're afraid to tackle French pastry or that they certainly don't have the courage to attempt replicating anything from a famous pastry chef, I give them this recipe for coconut domes. The cookies have only four ingredients, can be made by a first grader, and come from France's most famous pastry chef, Pierre Hermé.
The cookies are Pierre's version of the traditional French treats alternately called rochers or congolais, and they contain just milk, sugar, eggs, and coconut—no butter, flour, salt or extracts, so what you get is the pretty-much-pure flavor of coconut.
