Buttery Coconut Thins are a simple cookie recipe to have on hand as they are a delight not only to eat but to make.
*disclaimer .. the shortest post we have ever made & we are apologizing now.
Tuesdays with Dorie time … how we love Tuesdays! Jayne of the Barefoot Kitchen Witch picked Coconut Butter Thins for this week’s challenge. I was going to sit it out, only because we are swamped at work, but when I read the ingredient list, I knew I had to make it – coconut, lime zest & macadamia nuts. I love the three together. Reminds me of a tropical drink on a sunny beach.
Unfortunately, when I went to the store to get all the ingredients, they were out of the nuts. The only other addition I made was cardamon, I thought it would go great with the coconut and the lime – I was right! As well, the recipe called for cutting the cookie dough into squares, but I thought they would be fun to make circles. So I rolled the dough into a log and let it chill over night – easy bake slice cookies.
The cookies are lightly crisp, buttery and scented just like a tropical day at the beach. They reminded me of a new and improved girl scout cookie – will definitely be making these again!

like the idea of cardamom in the mix — so glad you liked them!
Wow! Those look perfect! Just like the ones I remember having as a kid…..love the idea of the cardamon!
These look and sound so delish! I wish I could have made them! Hopefully in the future!
How did you get yours so perfect?! I froze mine overnight and they spread like crazy! I had to bake them as tarts! haha!
Great looking cookies..Im glad you didn’t sit this one out. I really loved this recipe.
Love that you rolled them. Mine spread a lot; I think next time I’ll roll them and see how I do. Beautiful picture, too.
Mmmm, we love a buttery cookie.
your cookies look great !! I shouldn’t have made mine in circle too !! well done !!
Mmmm, tropical drink on a sunny beach – sounds good to me! Your cookies look perfect! I’m jealous of their shape. Glad you enjoyed them.
wow, your cookies turned out perfect! I want to reach out, grab a cookie and dunk it in that glass of milk.
Butter makes everything better, so the combo with coconut is a cinch!
Yum, cardamom! Great addition!
