Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Sprinkles, for topping
One 12-ounce jar raspberry jam
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until well combined, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the lemon juice and flour mixture and mix until the dough just comes together.
  • Fill a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a large star tip with three-quarters of the dough. Pipe 3-inch-long strips 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets (or pipe into stars if you prefer).
  • Roll the remaining dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Put some sprinkles in a bowl and roll the balls in the sprinkles to coat. Place the balls 1 inch apart on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake until the cookie edges are just golden brown, about 11 minutes. Allow to cool completely before decorating and enjoying.
  • To decorate: Spread raspberry jam on the underside of one of the long cookies and sandwich with another long cookie. Continue with the remaining long cookies and jam.
  • Microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted.
  • Dip the sandwiched cookies first in the chocolate, then in the sprinkles. Set the cookies aside on parchment until the chocolate is set, about 5 minutes. The cookies will keep for a few weeks packed in an airtight container.

GRANDMA MABEL'S COCONUT WASHBOARD COOKIES



Grandma Mabel's Coconut Washboard Cookies image

An old recipe that has been modernized. Recipe is from when I was a little girl working in the kitchen beside my wonderful, loving grandmother Mabel Kennedy Sullivan. She said this was a favorite cookie of her beloved husband Frank B. Sullivan (who was a deep sea diver). Grandma showed me a real washboard and explained that is what the cookie represented. She said that these cookies were a reminder to always work hard... and sweet rewards will come... *** These are not my photos, most of them are from my friend Peggi Anne Tebben cookiequeen!

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

4-1/2 to 5 cup(s) all purpose flour (may use a bit more or less depending on humidity)
2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 cup(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) shortening, butter flavor
2 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1/3 cup(s) coconut milk, unsweetened
1 cup(s) sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Mix together well the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In a very large bowl: Use an electric mixer on medium high speed to cream together the next 3 ingredients. Add the eggs and mix well.
  • Add the vanilla to the coconut milk. Stir in alternating the flour mixture and the coconut milk mixture. Stir in the coconut.
  • Make "logs" of dough in desired shape (round or rectangle). Wrap in wax paper and put in refrigerator for 3 hours.
  • preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the dough logs across to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick cookies. Place each cookie on parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Use the tines of a fork that has been dipped in flour to make "lines" in the cookie. When tray is full, bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on wire racks before storing in an airtight container.
  • *** Another method of forming the cookies is pinching off about a Tablespoon of dough, form it into a little log, flatten the log with tines of a fork. **** Another method is to not refrigerate the dough, and use a cookie press. The disk has a long slit that is flat on one side and bumpy on the other side of the slit... the bumpy side points up. *********** depending on the coconut milk you use... you may want to use a bit less or add a bit more flour.

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 3 dozen cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 cup gumdrop, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Cream the butter, margarine and sugar together.
  • Add vanilla and the eggs one at a time until well blended.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and add to egg mixture.
  • Stir until mixed well.
  • By hand, stir in the coconut flakes, chopped pecans, oatmeal and sliced gumdrops until just mixed.
  • Refrigerate the dough until it is thoroughly chilled (at least 3 hours).
  • (Chilling the dough will help the cookies keep their shape).
  • Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Take a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball about the size of a walnut.
  • Place on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet about 6 inches apart.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until light brown.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the cookies. This will ensure that the cookies have enough room to spread and cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Cook the cookies over medium heat. This will help prevent the cookies from burning.
  • Flip the cookies halfway through cooking. This will ensure that the cookies are cooked evenly on both sides.
  • Allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.
