Strawberry Coconut Sandwich Cookies
Gather up all of your ingredients – cookies and filling alike, to include butter, sugar, flour, milk, strawberry preserves, and more. Don’t forget the flaked coconut!
Whip up the cookies first by creaming together the butter and sugar with the egg and extracts. Once the dough is formed, separate into 1″ balls and push the balls down with the bottom of a glass dipped in flour. Bake for just 12-14 minutes before removing to cool.
While the cookies are baking, work on making the filling. Combine the butter with powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and coconut. Spread the filling on the back side of the cooled cookie, then top with a dollop of strawberry preserves. Place another cookie on top (flat side facing down) and repeat until you have exhausted your filling.
Yum!
These cookies will be a hit at your next get together!
