Sorry for the update, just wanted to add another photo, trying out my new lightbox and testing settings on my camera ;) Hoping for less graininess!
I started baking along with the blog event Tuesdays with Dorie about 6 months ago. You would think by now I would remember that every time I make a recipe from this book I should reduce the time suggested! LOL Almost every recipe I have tried needs less time than suggested, and yes I have used an oven thermometer, my oven is fine. ;) So once again, my first batch was overdone and I didn’t even photograph them, but the second batch, even though darker than they are supposed to be I’m sure, still tasted great. The coconut mixed in adds a wonderful chew factor to this otherwise tender crisp cookie.
Your cookies look positively scrumptious Amanda! I did candied ginger cookies drizzled with dark chocolate.
I will definitely be making these as soon as I can! The look like something that I would enjoy (probably not Grumpy though).
They look wonderful. I love anything with coconut and I can only imagine who great they taste dipped in coffee!!
Your cookies look great. I drizzled mine with white chocolate, but I love your lime juice addition! For the chill time, I stuck mine in the freezer for 30 minutes. They didn’t spread too much.
These cookies were pretty tasty!!
I had the same spreadin out problem…
Those look so good! I love the icing! Yum!
I do too, have a super-burner-oven! LOL But I’m used to it by now… after completely burning a couple of expensive recipes… one learns quick! LOL
Beautiful, as usual, Amanda!
These look beautiful! I might let mine chill longer next time as well, but it was hard to find much fault with these — they were pretty close to perfect. I love how you glazed some of yours!
C’est super beau Amanda et avec le glaçage c’est encore plus appétissant :)
Your cookies look great! Mine spread a bit too and I chilled them overnight. Great idea to glaze them because what’s not better with glaze? :)
Love the frosting..they look so good. I like how perfect they look on the cookie sheets, nice job!
Don’t feel bad, I froze mine overnight and they STILL spread like crazy! I love the glaze on your cookies!
OOOh, I love your icing idea. I ended up using my lime juice in guacamole as a way to use it up. I figure if coconut cookies get a little overdone, it makes them like toasted coconut, and even better. :)
Ooh, they look delish with the lime glaze! When mine are a little overcooked, I just eat the evidence. :-)
I love the glaze.
They look great to me! Esp. with the glaze!
Those look great…just the way I thought they were supposed to look. If you think yours spread out, check mine out!
wow.. the glaze sounds so yummy !!! well done !!
Those look perfect. Mine are in the oven. But the fragrance is calling to me. Must eat cookie…..
They look perfect Amanda!
Your cookies look awesome! Wonderful idea to add a glaze!
I like my cookies crisp! The glaze sounds really delicious.
I love that your cookies have a wonderful looking glaze!!
Nice job on these cookies. That glaze looks so good!
Nice touch with the lime glaze. :) I think they were supposed to spread. Dorie says you’ll end up witha lacey cookie. Mine didn’t spread too much. My first batch was also overdone. Still delicious though. Yours look great!
Oooh that glaze looks amazing!!
Your photos and cookies look great! I really loved these cookies, so glad you liked them too :)
I love this cookies, they are defintely a favorite, like Pecan Sandies. I didn’t have any citrus to add to mine, but they were wonderful none the less!
Looks good ESPECIALLY the glazed ones!

After reading many posts about these, I’m dying to try them! They look buttery and delicious.
oohh…a little glaze–great idea! i liked the little bit of chew these cookies had as well.
You have a light box now?! Aren’t we fancy schmancy. ;)
The photos look great and so are the cookies. That glaze is calling my name!
Oh, I’ll bet they are wonderful in coffee. Love the icing. Great job with the lightbox, btw.

I did an icing as well. Seemed to add the final touch in my opinion. Your pictures are lovely.
Yummmmy. Look at that glaze on top of the cookie. As if I needed a new reason to eat more of these…. They look delicious, and I enjoyed reading all about your light box construction!
Ooh, the glaze sounds great! Lovely job!
