toasted coconut shortbread cookie

First cookie to disappear from your cookie tray! This cookie can be rolled out and cut into shapes as well. Just make 2 disks instead of logs before refrigerating.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Buttery and crisp, there are bits of toasted coconut in every bite of these toasted coconut shortbread cookies. These easy-to-make cookies are not overly sweet and delicious once cooled out of the oven. But dipping them in chocolate and sprinkling a little extra coconut makes them special. We couldn't stop snacking on these delicious cookies.

How To Make toasted coconut shortbread cookie
-
1In a skillet, add coconut and cook over medium heat. Toss or stir often until the coconut is lightly browned. It will burn fast so be careful. Set aside to cool.

5Add coconut.
-
6Form dough into 2 logs.
-
7Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
8Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment. Slice log into 1/4” thick cookies.
-
9Place cookies on pans at least 1" apart and bake until golden and starting to crisp; 13-15 minutes.
