Coconut Cookie Slices (Danish Fedtebrod)

10 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for rolling out
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter (125 g)
  • 8 tablespoons sweetened coconut (65 g)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (65 g)
  • Icing
  • 3/4 cup icing sugar (100 g)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (I have read that egg white instead of water gives a nicer glace, but have not tried this myself)
  • sweetened coconut (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. 2
    Mix all ingredients until a dough consistency forms.
  3. 3
    Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
  4. 4
    Roll each portion into a 2.5 inch strip, about a 1/4 inch (or thinner) thick.
  5. 5
    Make icing; icing should be ready once cookies are removed from oven.
  6. 6
    Bake the strips at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 10 minutes.
  7. 7
    Remove from oven and WHILE STILL WARM brush with icing. If you wish you can also sprinkle with a bit of sweetened coconut on top of icing.
  8. 8
    WHILE STILL WARM cut the strips diagonally into 1 inch strips (now you have 1 x 2.5 inch cookies). The cookies will seem really fragile while cutting but they harden as they cool.
  9. 9
    Place on cooling rack and let cool. (I let mine cool right on the baking sheet).
