This is a Everyday Food recipe that has been become a favorite of mine. It makes a very tender, not-overly-sweet, subtle coconut-flavored sweet treat. The rolling of the hot cookie in confectioners' sugar gives the cookie a nice little glaze. **NO... More

Ingredients
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy.
  3. Mix in flour and salt until they're just combined.
  4. Stir in coconut.
  5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake until just starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  7. Roll the warm cookies in confectioners' sugar; let cool completely.
  8. NOTE: I rolled them in confectioners' sugar a second time after they're cool to give them a nice powdery coating.
  9. Makes 36 cookies.
