ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH COCONUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.
• Combine flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
• Beat sugar, oil, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until foamy.
• Place grated zucchini in a colander in the sink. Squeeze out as much liquid with your hands as possible. Add zucchini and eggs to the sugar mixture and mix well. Stir into flour mixture until well combined.
• Pour zucchini batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

CRANBERRY-COCONUT CHEWS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat 1½ cups butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in egg, until well blended.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture, stir to mix, then beat on low speed until dough comes together, about 5 minutes (see notes). Mix in cranberries and coconut.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on buttered 12" x 15" baking sheets.
• Bake in a 350°F regular or convection oven until cookie edges just begin to brown, 11 to 15 minutes (shorter baking time will yield a chewier cookie; longer baking time will yield a crispier cookie). If baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch their positions halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then use a wide spatula to transfer to racks to cool completely.
• NOTES: The mixture may look dry until it comes together as a dough. If its too crumbly to form into balls, the dough need to be mixed longer; it should be a smooth homogeneous mass.
