Add DIXIE CRYSTALS to Home Screen
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour*
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, soft

- Place coconut in a small food processor or blender and chop until very fine, set aside.
- Cream butter until smooth, add sugar and cream further. Add egg, vanilla, zest of lime and salt, mix until light and fluffy.
- Add flour all at once and mix until dough forms, do not over mix.
- Scoop dough in tablespoon amounts and shape into spheres, roll into coconut and place on parchment lined or lightly buttered cookie sheets.
- Press and indention in the center of the sphere. Repeat using remaining dough.
- Place in oven and bake until light golden, about 12 minutes.
- Place dulce de leche in a pastry or zip lock bag fitted with a medium pastry tip and fill the center of each cookie.
- If desired sprinkle cookies with additional zested lime.
