Coconut Button Cookies Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, milk, coconut extract, baking powder, and salt on medium speed. Stir in flour and coconut with a spoon. The entire dough should be solid crumbs. Then use your hands to bind the crumbs into a homogeneous mass. Divide into 4 parts. Roll each part into a roll of 25×2.5 cm. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Remove the frozen rolls one by one from the refrigerator and cut them into thin circles. Place the coconut cookies on a baking sheet and use a toothpick to 4 holes in each circle.
  3. Bake coconut cookies for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool the finished cookies with coconut on the kitchen wire rack. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and margarine over low heat. Dip each item in melted chocolate.
  4. Use a metal spatula to scrape off excess chocolate from the cookies, leaving a thin layer. Place the items on baking paper, chocolate side down. When the coconut cookies are completely cool, gently remove them from the paper. Fold the cookies into a tightly resealable container.

Enjoy your meal!
