Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted, cooled
2 refrigerated pie crusts (one 15-ounce package), room temperature
1/4 cup (about) apricot jam or orange marmalade

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable oil spray. Mix coconut, sugar, egg and vanilla in medium bowl. Stir in butter.
  • Unfold 1 crust on work surface. Using 3-inch-diameter cutter, cut out 12 rounds from crust, patching crust scraps as needed to form 12 rounds. Press rounds gently into prepared muffin cups; bake until light brown, about 10 minutes. Drop about 1/2 teaspoon jam, then 1 scant tablespoon coconut filling into each warm pastry. Bake until filling is brown, about 15 minutes. Cut around cookies to loosen. Using spatula, transfer cookies to rack and cool. Repeat cutting, forming and baking with remaining crust, jam and filling to makes 12 more cookies.

These cookies were a disaster. They didn't turn out at all like the picture.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I thought these cookies were pretty good.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They're so easy to make and they taste delicious. I love the combination of coconut and chocolate. I will definitely be making these again.
