Coconut Oil Sugar Cookies image

This is a variation on the sugar cookie using coconut oil. It tastes similar to a shortbread cookie, but they are very moist and delicious. Roll tops of cookies in sugar and/or colored sugar before baking for a festive treat. Cinnamon and sugar works well, too.

Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon pure coconut extract (optional)
Sanding or colored sugar or sprinkles, for decorating (optional)
Coconut Glaze for Sugar Cookies (optional)

Steps:

  • Process coconut in a food processor until finely ground. Whisk together flour, coconut, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Put butter and granulated sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and coconut extract, if desired. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Divide dough into thirds; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm but malleable, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Roll out dough between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment to 1/4 inch thick. Repeat, and stack between parchment on a baking sheet. Freeze or refrigerate dough until firm, 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut out shapes with a floured cutter. Space 11/2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment. To decorate with sugar, lightly brush with water and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake until edges are golden, 11 to 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. If frosting cookies, put glaze in a small pastry bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as Ateco #6), and pipe onto cookies. Alternatively, spread glaze on cookies using a small offset spatula. Let glaze dry completely, or sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles when still wet then let dry completely, at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • If you are vegan, you can substitute the butter in this recipe with coconut oil, mashed avocado, or a vegan butter alternative.
  • If you don't have coconut extract on hand, you can use vanilla extract instead, but the cookies will have a less pronounced coconut flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake, as this will dry out the cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These coconut sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture and sweet coconut flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
