Dry Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, salt, and shredded coconut until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Vanilla

    In another bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Once the mixture is combined, use your hands to shape the dough into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Baking

  1. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    After refrigerating, place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

  2. 7

    Cut and Bake

    Cut the dough into desired shapes using cookie cutters and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

  3. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Coconut Shortbread!
