Toasted Coconut Shortbread

8 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup medium unsweetened coconut, toasted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, combine flours, corn starch, and coconut. Add to butter mixture and mix until blended. Shape dough into a flattened disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate dough for 30 minutes if dough is too soft to roll.
  3. 3
    On a floured surface, roll out dough until 1/4 inch thick, dusting lightly with flour as necessary. Cut dough into rounds with a 2 inch cookie cutter dipped in flour. Reroll dough as necessary, without adding too much flour. Place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
  4. 4
    Bake cookies in a preheated 300F oven for 25 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden. Cool on wire racks.
