Time 45m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb butter, plus
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
2 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, melted
1/2 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 lb confectioners' sugar, divided
1/4 lb butter, softened (not melted!)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 -4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream together butter and sugar; add flour, coconut, and baking powder.
  • Dissolve melted baking chocolate by whisking into boiling water; add to mixture.
  • Roll mixture into small 1-inch balls.
  • Place balls on greased cookie sheet and, using a fork, press criss-cross to flatten.
  • Bake in a moderate oven, 350F, for 10 to 12 minutes until desired doneness (some people like them crispier than others); let cool on a wire rack.
  • Make the butter cream filling: cream one-third of the confectioners' sugar with softened butter and salt in large bowl.
  • Blend vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons milk and remaining sugar into mixture.
  • Gradually stir in remaining milk to filling until desired spreading consistency is reached.
  • When cookies have cooled completely, sandwich them together with the butter cream filling (or chocolate from melting a slab of milk chocolate over low heat or in microwave).
