Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, vegetable oil, and powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Stir in the chocolate powder, baking powder, and salt until fully incorporated into the wet base.
Step 4: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, kneading gently by hand until a soft, smooth, melt-in-your-mouth dough forms.
Step 5: Gently fold the raisins directly into the center of the dough, ensuring they are completely enclosed so they won't burn during baking.
Step 6: Pinch off small portions of the dough, roll them into neat, compact round balls, and generously roll each ball in shredded coconut so the exterior is fully coated.
Step 7: Arrange the coated cookies on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between them.
Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until set. Let them cool completely on the tray before serving.
Chef's Tip
Coating the exterior with shredded coconut before baking prevents burning and creates a gorgeous, toasted rustic contrast against the rich chocolate interior.
