Coconut Cut Out Cookies

Coconut Cut Out Cookies

Coconut Cut Out Cookies @createdbydiane

I just love coconut!

toasted, regular even unsweetened…. I love it all.

I remember years ago seeing coconut shrimp on a menu and well…

The menu got closed immediately, I knew just what I HAD to order and it didi’t disappoint in the least. Crunchy toasted coconut covering the shrimp and a slightly spicy dipping sauce. Well I was in LOVE, it became a favorite for a while and you know what I think I need to make some real soon. Maybe even coconut chicken, yes coconut chicken….I think I’ll make that this week.

Since I love coconut and well I love cookies….doesn’t everyone love cookies!

I made coconut cut out cookies with coconut icing and yep you guessed it coconut on top. Yeah these are GOOD!

I loved how white-white they turned out, so pretty like snow.

I use Americolor White Food Coloring to be sure the icing is super white. You can find it at cake decorating stores, online supply stores or amazon.

I buy the large bottle as I tend to like everything bright white!

    Sugar cookies are wonderful but flavor specific sugar cookies are even better! I am really intrigued. What is coconut emulsion? I think my pantry has every can and bottle of coconut flavoring, milk, and cream you can imagine but I have never heard of coconut emulsion. 🙂

      It will depend on the cookie cutter size you use. For these hearts, about 48. I try to keep an accurate count on cookie amounts, but sadly when my kids enter the kitchen some go missing! I monitor all comments no matter how new or old the posts so feel free to ask any question on any recipe.
