Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened finely shredded coconut

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large egg whites

  • 1 teaspoon pure coconut extract

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 2 tablespoons creamed coconut or unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening

  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

  • 1 teaspoon pure coconut extract

Directions

Stir together coconut, granulated sugar, egg whites, coconut extract, and salt in a large bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Form heaping teaspoons of dough into balls; space 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Gently flatten to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges begin to turn golden, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely.

  • Step 1
  • Put butter, cream of coconut, and shortening in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add confectioners sugar and coconut extract; mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
