These cookie slices were my absolute favorites growing up in Denmark. They are simple but yet so delicious, especially if you are a sweetened coconut fan. This is an old family recipe. I have tried to search the origin but it goes back hundreds of years literally. I have done my best to convert recipe into cups/tablespoons but if you have a scale I recommend that you weigh the ingredients instead of using the other measures. The cookies freeze well. The dough is quite fragile and I recommend that you cool it for 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator before rolling it out.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix all ingredients until a dough consistency forms.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a 2.5 inch strip, about a 1/4 inch (or thinner) thick.
- Make icing; icing should be ready once cookies are removed from oven.
- Bake the strips at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 10 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place on cooling rack and let cool. (I let mine cool right on the baking sheet).

[email protected]These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them. Other than that, they were perfect! The coconut flavor was wonderful, and the cookies had a great texture.
