Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 70 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 100 grams Shredded sweetened coconut
- 200 grams White chocolate
- 20 grams Extra powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch together, then slowly add it to the butter mixture. Mix gently until a soft dough forms.
Take approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and shape it into a log about 2 inches long. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the logs about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden. Be careful not to overbake. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets.
While the cookies cool, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
Place the shredded coconut in a shallow bowl or plate.
Dip one end of each cooled log into the melted white chocolate and then roll it in the shredded coconut. Place the decorated logs on a wire rack or parchment sheet to allow the chocolate to set.
Dust the cookies lightly with extra powdered sugar for a snowy finish and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
