Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (7 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut (about 2 1/4 cups)
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Vanilla Buttercream Filling

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Whisk to combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup coconut. Place remaining coconut in a food processor; pulse until coarsely ground.

Beat butter and both sugars with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture and ground coconut; mix until just combined.

Drop dough by level tablespoons onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 1 to 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until lightly golden around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dividing evenly, spread filling on flat sides of half the cookies; sandwich with remaining cookies. Roll edges in 1/2 cup reserved coconut, and chill until ready to serve.

                I wanted smaller cookies for  Christmas cookie trays, so I didn't sandwich them (way too big).  Instead, I frosted each cookie with the icing, then dipped the tops in a mix of chopped coconut to which some red and green sprinkles were added.  They are delicious, moist, and very pretty with a bit of color against the snow-white coconut.  And best thing is that they freeze very well after icing, and up to a month with no decrease in flavor or texture.  Awesome.
