Instructions
Make sure your eggs are room temperature and this dough will come together beautifully!
- This recipe makes 6 cookies.
- Begin by cutting butter into cubes. Next, In a heavy saucepan heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
- While your butter cools sift your dry ingredients.
- In a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
- Add eggs, vanilla and coconut extract and whisk until combined.
- Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Add shredded coconut and fold until combined. Do not over mix.
- Cookies need to be baked right away the dough does not store well.
- Drop the dough by 1/4 cup balls or use an ice cream scoop. Since this cookie is loaded with your palm flatten the cookie dough ball about 1/3 of the way down. Bake 6 at a time in a large cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
- When cookies are ready you can fix the shape with a large round cookie cutter or a big measuring cup.(Videos on my insta for reference)
- Allow the cookies to cool completely
- Next, make the buttercream by using a handheld or a stand mixer beat butter for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and on low speed add the powdered sugar one cup at a time.
- Add milk and Amoretti Mango Artisan Flavor and mix until combined about 2-3 minutes.
- Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat on Med-High for another 2 minutes until well combined and it is light and smooth.
- Once the cookies are cooled add a scoop of butter cream on top and frost to your desired decoration.
- Slice mangoes and garnish the top of your cookies.
- Add the berries of your choice and enjoy!
TIPS
- This cookie dough CANNOT be made in advanced in needs to be baked right away it does not store well.
- Cookies will look a little undone once taken out they will finish baking in the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely to set.
- Baked cookies can be stored in the fridge in a tight container for 2-3 days and take out desired amount to that atleast an hour before.
