Delight in the heavenly soft and pillowy texture of these coconut frosted cookies. A perfect treat for any occasion!
Ingredients
| ½ | pound salted butter, melted and cooled |
|---|---|
| 1-½ | dark brown sugar |
| 2 | eggs |
| ½ | teaspoon vanilla |
| ½ | teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1 | pinch pinch of ground cardamom |
| ½ | teaspoon baking soda |
| ½ | teaspoon baking powder |
| 2-½ | all-purpose flour |
| ½ | cup icing sugar |
| 2 | teaspoons coconut milk |
| 1 | tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by melting the salted butter and allowing it to cool. |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a bowl, cream together the cooled butter and dark brown sugar using a whisk. Gradually whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and a hint of ground cinnamon and a pinch of ground cardamom. Add the baking soda, baking powder, and all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined – the dough should be wet and sticky. |
| 3. | With wet hands, scoop the cookie dough and shape it into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet without pressing them down, to maintain their pillowy dome shape. |
| 4. | Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown. The cookies should appear slightly underbaked and very soft. Allow them to cool on a rack before applying the frosting. |
| 5. | While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting by combining icing sugar and unsweetened shredded coconut in a small bowl. Gradually mix in coconut milk, one teaspoon at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more. The frosting should have a thick and spreadable consistency, perfect for application with a butter knife. Adjust the texture by adding a small amount of coconut milk or icing sugar as needed. |
| 6. | Spread the luscious coconut frosting over the cooled cookies and allow it to set before indulging in the delightful treat. |
