Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.66 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Raspberry jam
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg yolks to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites. Place the shredded unsweetened coconut in a separate shallow dish.
Roll each dough ball first in the egg whites, then coat it evenly in coconut.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, press a small indentation into the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam, being careful not to overfill.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
