Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 150 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 100 grams Desiccated coconut
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Step 3
Add the unsalted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Knead the mixture lightly until it forms a smooth dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 5
Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each piece into a log approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long.
Step 6
Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet and lightly flatten the tops with your fingers.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden but still soft to the touch. Do not overbake as they will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and hot water until smooth.
Step 9
Once the cookie logs have cooled slightly but are still warm, brush the glaze evenly over the top of each log.
Step 10
Sprinkle the desiccated coconut generously over the glaze while it's still wet.
Step 11
Let the logs cool completely, then use a sharp knife to slice them diagonally into 2 cm (3/4 inch) wide pieces.
Step 12
Store the slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
