TWD: Coconut Butter Thins


Another week, another tuesday: time passes by so fast!! But another tuesday also means another great TWD-recipe! This week Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch got to pick a recipe from the wonderfull book Baking: From my Home to Yours, Jayne chose Coconut Butter Thins.
The recipe can be found here!



This recipe is great!! Easy to prepare, pop into the fridge for a couple of hours, bake for a while and you'll end up with a delicious, delicate cookie. The coconut is barely noticeable and the thins taste really good.



The recipe makes 32 cookies. But I rolled out the dough just a bit thinner than the 1/4 inch specified in the recipe and cut the cookies a bit smaller, so I ended up with 72 smaller coconut butter thins that baked for 10 minutes. Since the dough does spread quite a bit while baking I still had reasonably sized cookies, with an average of only 1,5 WW Points per cookie!

Check out the results of my fellow TWD-ers here!

  2. I'm glad you liked the recipe. And i thought it was majorly wrong that mine became so flat. Darn it. They were pretty tasty after all.

  11. Isn't it funny how some are thin and others didn't spread? I love your smaller, delicate cookie. Yum, they were delicious.

  12. These look great and they look like they'd have a nice crunch too. Mine were a little chewy but very good :)

  19. I made mine thicker which made them a bit more like shortbread. Yours look great though

  22. I rolled some of my cookies thinner and wow the difference was amazing. The thinner ones were way better. The flavors really stood out.
