SWEETHEART COOKIES

Happy Valentines Day...


Cookie Dough:

1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup sugar
2.5 cups flour
3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Icing:
1 cup icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons milk

  • Mix coconut and sugar in the blender until ground.
  • In a separate bow, mix the butter and flour. The mixture will have small lumps. Add the ground coconut and sugar mixture.
  • Mix vanilla and the eggs in a separate bowl and combine all of the ingredients to make a hard cookie dough.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to ½ cm thickness. Cut into heart shapes.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Cook 8-10 minutes (until you see the edges a little yellow)
  • Cool completely.
  • Prepare the icing by mixing all of the ingredients to spreading consistency. Spread over the cookies. The icing will harden as it waits. Wait at least 1 hour before serving.
