Coconut Sugar Cookies Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Whisk the vanilla and egg in a small bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl with a hand-held mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, add the coconut sugar and continue beating until light, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl again if needed, then add the egg mixture, beating for about 1 minute. Sift the flour with the salt in a small bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to low, then add the flour mixture, mixing just until blended.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl. Divide the dough in half and place each half between 2 pieces of lightly floured parchment or waxed paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a disk about 1/4 inch thick. Slide the dough/parchment sheet onto a flat baking sheet or on the back of a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment (or use nonstick baking sheets).
• Place 1 disk of the cookie dough on a clean work surface and peel off the top sheet of paper. Cut the cookies with a 1 1/2-inch round or decorative-shaped cookie cutter directly on the parchment. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Repeat with the other sheet of dough. Any excess dough can be re-rolled, refrigerated and cut.
• Bake until the edges of the cookies are light golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool.

Steps:

• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Add the coconut sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat together until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate before another addition. Once incorporated, add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add in the flour mixture and beat until no more flour spots are visible. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut by hand. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Scoop out a 2-tablespoon size portion of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Continue scooping and rolling until you have about 10 to 12 cookies per sheet, leaving 2-inches between them. Bake until the edges have set, but the center is still soft, about 14 minutes.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheets cool completely and bake the remaining dough. (Alternatively, the remaining cookie dough can be wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month.)

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook shredded coconut, stirring often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes (coconut will continue to darken after you remove it from heat). Scrape into a small bowl and let cool slightly.
• Open coconut milk without shaking can and scoop solidified coconut cream off the top into a small bowl; set aside for ganache (you'll need 5 Tbsp.). Reserve remaining coconut milk.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a medium bowl to combine. Whisk eggs, vanilla, salt, 1½ cups coconut sugar, and 3 Tbsp. reserved coconut milk in a large bowl. Whisk in half of dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, mix in shredded coconut mixture, then add remaining dry ingredients and mix just until no dry streaks remain. Cover dough and chill at least 2 hours.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Place powdered sugar and remaining ⅓ cup coconut sugar in separate shallow bowls. Using a #20 cookie scoop (or a heaping 3 Tbsp.), portion out 18 pieces of dough and roll into smooth balls between your palms. Working one at a time, gently toss balls in coconut sugar to coat, then toss in powdered sugar. Divide cookies between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing at least 2" apart.
• Bake 1 sheet of cookies, rotating baking sheet front to back halfway through, until centers of cookies are puffed and edges are just firm, 16-18 minutes. Repeat with remaining sheet of cookies (baking the sheets one at a time gives your cookies the best crinkles). Let cookies cool 20 minutes on baking sheets. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Turn half of cookies over. Do ahead: Dough can be made 3 days ahead; keep chilled. Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.
• Heat white chocolate, rum, salt, and 5 Tbsp. reserved coconut cream in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water), stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Chill ganache until cool but not solid, about 1 hour.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat ganache until light and spreadable, about 1 minute. Spread a layer of ganache over upside down cookies. Top each with a right-side up cookie, pressing gently to adhere. Do ahead: Ganache can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before beating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in the flour mixture, then mix in the coconut. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly toasted. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Cream together butter and sugar; add eggs and mix well.
• Stir in dry ingredients and then add coconut.
• Drop from teaspoon on greased baking sheet.
• Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned around edges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.
• Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.

• Drop by teaspoon full onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
• Bake for 11 - 14 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from sheet.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat the butter in a large bowl using an electric whisk or in a stand mixer until very soft. Beat in both sugars and the vanilla until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg until just combined. Sift in the flour and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Fold in 100g of the toasted coconut.
• Roll the dough into 14-16 balls (about 45g each) and arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, well spaced apart. Flatten each slightly using the palm of your hand and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Leave to cool on the sheet briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Break the chocolate into pieces and tip into a heatproof bowl, then melt in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, stirring until smooth. Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then lay on a sheet of baking parchment and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut. Leave to set for about 30 mins.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat shortening and sugars until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture. Stir in oats and coconut., Divide dough into 4 portions. On a lightly floured surface, shape each into a 6-in.-long log. Wrap in waxed paper; freeze 2 hours or until firm., Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap and cut dough crosswise into 1/2-in. slices, reshaping as needed. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool., Freeze option: Place wrapped logs in a freezer container; return to freezer. To use, unwrap frozen logs and cut into slices. If necessary, let dough stand a few minutes at room temperature before cutting. Prepare and bake as directed.

Steps:

• Blend together coconut oil and coconut sugar using an electric mixer or a fork in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix thoroughly. Combine coconut flour and salt in a separate bowl; pour into the mixture and blend well. Fold in pecans.
• Form dough into a ball and wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll dough into small balls, 1 to 1 1/2-inches wide. Place balls a few inches apart on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a tiny bit of coconut sugar on top of each cookie and flatten using the bottom of a glass to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to brown slightly, about 8 minutes.
