Time 2h

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 pinch ground cardamom
2 cups finely grated coconut
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Sift flour, confectioners' sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl. Blend in butter, vanilla extract, allspice, and cardamom with your hands until dough comes together. Wrap and chill dough for 1 hour.
  • Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Pour coconut onto a shallow plate. Roll cookie balls in coconut and place 1 inch apart on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine chocolate, vegetable oil, and almond extract in a small, deep microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Dip half of each cookie diagonally into the melted chocolate and shake off excess. Return to the baking sheets and refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 10 minutes.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I made these cookies with almond flour instead. They turned out great!

These coconut shortbread cookies are a delightful treat! They have a perfect balance of sweetness and coconut flavor, and the texture is wonderfully crumbly and buttery. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly.
