These delightful treats come to the rescue during those “sweet” emergencies when you need something quick and satisfying. Let’s dive into the recipe!
Coconut Icebox Cookies
These cookies are not only easy to make but also irresistibly delicious. With a blend of coconut and a buttery base, they are perfect for snacking any time of the day! Here’s how they look:
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the cookie dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll it into a log and wrap it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the dough is firm.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Once chilled, slice the dough into 1/4-inch rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Coconut Icebox Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or simply on their own. They’re the perfect sweet treat to have on hand for any unexpected cravings!
