Notes
- Almond flour cannot be substituted in this recipe. The coconut flour adds to the coconut flavor of the shortbread cookie.
- MIXING. To avoid over mixing, combine this recipe by hand. After mixing, the dough needs to sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture from the butter. This allows the dough to be scooped and formed when placed on the baking sheet.
- Watch the cookies closely while baking. You just want the edges of the cookies to start to brown. Cookies will be slightly soft when transferring them to a cooling rack but will firm up as they cool completely.
- Chocolate. If desired, melt ½ cup of lily’s dark or milk chocolate baking chips and dip or drizzle the shortbread with it. In a microwave safe bowl, heat baking chips on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat chips for an additional 15 seconds, stir. Repeat until desired consistency is achieved. Cookies need to be set on parchment paper for about 30 minutes to allow chocolate to set. They also need to be stored in a cool place, as any warmth (like in the sun) will soften the chocolate.
- Cookies can also be sprinkled with unsweetened shredded coconut. Dip cookie in melted chocolate, as instructed above, wait for the chocolate to set up slightly. Just before it hardens, sprinkle with coconut. If coconut is sprinkled too soon, it will sink down into the chocolate and almost disappear.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy within 7 days.
