Toasted Coconut Shortbread Cookies
Iโm taking some time off the next few weeks to enjoy time with our little bundle of joy. While Iโm away, Iโve scheduledย some recipes here and thereย to share with you and Iโve also asked a few of my amazing blogger friends to fill in with some guest posts.ย
Today, Erinย from The Spiffy Cookieย is here to share with you these toasted coconut shortbread cookies. She is a cookie queen and always comes up with the most creative recipes. I am sure you will love these as I can’t wait to try them myself. Be sure to follow her on social media for more of her recipes;ย (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)!
First of all I have to say CONGRATULATIONS to Zainab for her beautiful baby boy who was just born this past Friday, July 31st! While her new family spends some precious time together, I am here to keep you company. Who am I? My name is Erin and I blog over on The Spiffy Cookie! You have probably heard of me before being that she and I have guest posted for each other on more than one occasion. We PhD-nerds have to stick together!
After I participated in Zainab’s virtual surprise baby shower, which was coconutย themed, I just could not get coconut off my brain when it came to figuring out what Iย wanted to make for my subsequent guest post. After recently revisiting my favoriteย shortbread cookies the choice became clear โ obviously I needed to try adding toasted coconut to them!
These shortbread cookies are so buttery and delicate that they quite seriously melt in your mouth like a little cloud of deliciousness. Which makes them incredibly dangerous as half a dozen disappear right before your eyes. I wish I couldโve brought a plate of these over to Zainabโs house for her to enjoy herself!
I hope your baby boy is as sweet as you are Zainab, congrats again!
