Coconut Cream Sandwiches
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
7 ounces sweetened shredded coconut (2-2/3 cups, loosely packed)
2 pints vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
With an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and salt until smooth. Mix in flour, then coconut, beating until a dough forms. Transfer to a piece of waxed paper; pat into a rectangular log, about 3inches wide and 6 inches long. Wrap with waxed paper; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. with racks in upper and lower thirds. With a serrated knife, slice log of dough crosswise 1/4-inch thick (you should have about 24 slices); arrange slices on two baking sheets.
Bake until golden, rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, 20 to 30 minutes (watch closely towards the end of cooking time to avoid overbrowning). Cool completely on sheets.
Dividing evenly, spread ice cream on flat side of half the cookies; sandwich with remaining cookies, flat side down. Freeze on a baking sheet until firm, about 3 hours. (To freeze longer, up to 1 week, wrap sandwiches individually in plastic.)
