Servings: 18 cookies
Calories: 151kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- ⅔ cups Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Butter Unsalted
- ½ cup Coconut Desiccated
- 2 tablespoon Sour cream
- 2 Egg yolks From large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add egg yolks, one at a time, while continuing to mix.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Add flour and salt and mix until you end up with a weird lumpy mixture. Now, just use your hands to knead this mixture into sugar cookie dough.
- Roll this dough between two sheets of wax paper. Then, remove the top sheet of wax paper and sprinkle desiccated coconut and spread it all over the flattened cookie dough. Place the sheet of wax paper on top again and roll it one last time so as to push the coconut into the dough.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes and then rotate your tray and bake for another 3 minutes. Your cookies are ready when they are light golden brown around the edges. Enjoy!
Notes
- All ingredients must be at room temperature.
- Don't omit the sour cream. That adds moisture to these cookies and prevents them from becoming rock solid.
- Your baking times may vary, depending on the thickness of your cookies.
- The number of cookies you get from this recipe will vary, depending on the size of cookie cutters you use. It will also depend on how thick or thin you roll out your dough.
- Your cookie tray must be lined with parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking to the pan.
