Tuesdays with Dorie | Coconut Butter Thins

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!
