Just found this on another site and tried it out today. Really a nice cookie full of flavors and textures! This recipe only made 19 cookies, so I would definitely recommend doubling. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups flour |
3/4 cup shredded coconut |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons milk |
1/4 teaspoon coconut extract |
raspberry preserves (seedless) |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar in a mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla.
2. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and coconut.
3. Mix butter and flour mixtures til a soft dough forms.
4. Shape or scoop into 1 balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly and sprinkle with sugar.
5. Bake 12 minutes til just golden on the edges.
6. Cool.
7. In a small bowl, combine butter, confectioners sugar, milk and extract. Beat til smooth.
8. Place a scant teaspoon of filling on one cookie bottom. Place a 1/2 teaspoons of raspberry preserves on top of filling. Place a second cookie on preserves, bottom down.
9. Let sit to dry and serve.
10. These freeze nicely.
