COCONUT COOKIE SLICES (DANISH FEDTEBROD)



Coconut Cookie Slices (Danish Fedtebrod) image

These cookie slices were my absolute favorites growing up in Denmark. They are simple but yet so delicious, especially if you are a sweetened coconut fan. This is an old family recipe. I have tried to search the origin but it goes back hundreds of years literally. I have done my best to convert recipe into cups/tablespoons but if you have a scale I recommend that you weigh the ingredients instead of using the other measures. The cookies freeze well. The dough is quite fragile and I recommend that you cool it for 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling it out.

Time 30m

Yield 30 cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for rolling out
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter (125 g)
8 tablespoons sweetened coconut (65 g)
1/2 cup sugar (65 g)
3/4 cup icing sugar (100 g)
2 tablespoons milk (I have read that egg white instead of water gives a nicer glace, but have not tried this myself)
sweetened coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Mix all ingredients until a dough consistency forms.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
  • Roll each portion into a 2.5 inch strip, about a 1/4 inch (or thinner) thick.
  • Make icing; icing should be ready once cookies are removed from oven.
  • Bake the strips at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and WHILE STILL WARM brush with icing. If you wish you can also sprinkle with a bit of sweetened coconut on top of icing.
  • WHILE STILL WARM cut the strips diagonally into 1 inch strips (now you have 1 x 2.5 inch cookies). The cookies will seem really fragile while cutting but they harden as they cool.
  • Place on cooling rack and let cool. (I let mine cool right on the baking sheet).

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut adds a delicious flavor and texture to the cookies. If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges. Be careful not to overbake them, or they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will be easier to handle and store once they have cooled completely.

Coconut cookie slices are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking.
