Janes Coconut Sugar Cookies Recipes

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:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine butter, oil, soda, powder, extract, sugar, and salt.
• Add flour, coconut, and macadamias (if using).
• Roll dough into 1 inch balls, and place on cookie sheet.
• Use a glass, dipped in the remaining cookie dough (to "grease"), then dip in sugar, and flatten cookies.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom.
• Cool for approximately 1 minute on cookie sheet, then remove to wire rack.

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:

• 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.
