Toasted Coconut Shortbread Cookie image

I love shortbread cookies and adding coconut takes them over the top. This cookie is not overly sweet. Dipping them in chocolate makes 'em extra yummy.

Ingredients

1 1/2 c coconut
1 1/2 c butter, soft
1 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp vanilla
3 c all purpose flour

Steps:

1. In a skillet, add coconut and cook over medium heat. Tossing or stirring often until coconut is lightly browned. (It will burn fast so be careful) Set aside to cool.
2. In a mixing bowl cream together butter and sugar until smooth and almost fluffy, 1 minute. Blend in salt and vanilla. Slowly add flour on low speed, until just incorporated and dough begins to form. Add coconut. Form dough into 2 logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hr. Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment. Slice log into ¼" thick cookies. Place cookies on pans at least 1" apart and bake until golden and starting to crisp, 13-15 minutes. Allow to cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes then remove to racks to cool completely. Will crisp more as they cool.
3. If desired, cookies may be dipped or drizzled with chocolate or white chocolate and sprinkled with toasted coconut , chopped nuts or a desired sprinkle. This cookie can be rolled out and cut into shapes as well. Just make 2 disks instead of logs before refrigerating.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The shortbread base is really rich and buttery, and the coconut flavor is subtle.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover coconut. I always have a bag of shredded coconut in my freezer, so I can make these cookies whenever I want.
