Chewy Coconut Cookies (Cuts)

Coconut cuts - two of my favorite things combined into one. Garnish with icing and you have a cookie that everyone will love!

This recipe will give you about 30 coconut cookies.

Ingredients:

125 g butter, at room temperature

90 g granulated sugar

120 g all-purpose flour

70 g shredded coconut

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

4 tablespoons golden syrup

A pinch of salt

Icing:

Powdered sugar

Water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Prepare baking sheets and line them with parchment paper, set aside.

2. Whisk the butter and sugar light and fluffy.

3. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and add it to the butter mixture.

4. Finally, stir in the syrup and mix everything together into a dough.

5. Divide the dough into three parts.

6. Roll each part into lengths and place on your baking sheets. Flatten the dough lightly. I barely flatten it at all as I want the cuts to get a bit thicker in the middle.

7. Bake for about 10 minutes.

8. Allow the cookies to cool a bit (about 2-3 minutes) before cutting them. Cut them diagonally into individually cookies about 2-3 cm (1 inch) thick.

9. Allow the cookies to cool completely before garnishing them with icing.

10. Icing: Mix together the powdered sugar and a little bit of water into a smooth icing. Drizzle the icing over the cookies and finally sprinkle some shredded coconut on top.
