Best 3 Coconut Oil Sugar Cookies Recipes

CHEWY COCONUT OIL SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the coconut oil and sugar on medium for 2 minutes, until sort of fluffy (it won't look quite the same as with regular butter).
• Add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extract and beat again for about 30 seconds, until well combined.
• With the mixer on low, add in the flour mixture and mix until combined. If using, gently fold in the sprinkles with a spatula.
• Line a large plate with parchment paper, then scoop about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of the dough and form into balls about 1 ½ inches in size. Roll in the sugar OR gently press the tops with extra sprinkles, then place on the plate (they can be touching / close together).
• Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for about 1 ½ to 2 hours.**
• Toward the end of the chill time, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the chilled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 to 3 inches apart. (If baking in batches, keep the remaining dough balls in the fridge.)
• Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are just set (they'll look a little underdone in the centers but that's okay - don't over bake!). Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly.
• Beat sugar, butter, and coconut oil together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda gradually; mix until dough just comes together. Mix dough with hands to fully incorporate ingredients. Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart onto baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookie tops are cracked, 10 to 12 minutes.

COCONUT SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Process coconut in a food processor until finely ground. Whisk together flour, coconut, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Put butter and granulated sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and coconut extract, if desired. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Divide dough into thirds; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm but malleable, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Roll out dough between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment to 1/4 inch thick. Repeat, and stack between parchment on a baking sheet. Freeze or refrigerate dough until firm, 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut out shapes with a floured cutter. Space 11/2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment. To decorate with sugar, lightly brush with water and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until edges are golden, 11 to 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. If frosting cookies, put glaze in a small pastry bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as Ateco #6), and pipe onto cookies. Alternatively, spread glaze on cookies using a small offset spatula. Let glaze dry completely, or sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles when still wet then let dry completely, at least 2 hours.
