    SHORTBREAD: Coconut Shortbread

    Source of Recipe

    WFD Folder 2001

    List of Ingredients

    2 cups butter, softened (no substitutes)
    1 cup sugar
    2 tsp. vanilla extract, *see Note
    4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup coconut flakes
    confectioner's sugar

    Recipe

    In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Gradually add flour. Stir in coconut. Shape into two 8-inch rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours, or until firm. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place 1-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350* for 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Dip both sides of cookies in confectioners' sugar while warm. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 5 dozen.


    LYNDA NOTES.........For an even MORE coconut flavor I use coconut extract. Also instead of dipping the shortbread in confectioner's sugar I melted some chocolate & dipped them in there. I also tried a few dipped in chocolate, then "rolled" in confectioner's sugar..........YUM!!
