My niece makes this shortbread for special occasions, writes Wauwatosa, Wisconsin's Nancy Siefert. My family enjoys the rich flavor of these cookies so much, I bake them all year long.
Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup flaked coconut
confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well. Stir in coconut. Shape into two 8-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
2. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Dip both sides of cookies in confectioners' sugar while warm. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 5 dozen.
