One of my favorite bloggers, Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch was our host for Tuesdays with Dorie this week. And she chose Coconut Butter Thins. I was thankful that she chose such an easy recipe. I'm currently packing up my apartment and I need quick and easy!
I decided to switch things up a bit and used pecans and lemon in the cookies. Well, I had no choice really. I don't keep macademia nuts in the house and there was no lime to be found. Only lemon in the fridge this time. I did leave out the coriander though. Not because I didn't want it in the cookie, I just forgot to put it in. Oops!
One sheet got a little crispier than they should have. I forgot to rotate during the baking time so the top sheet was very golden brown at the end of 18 minutes. They weren't bad though. In fact, I think I liked them better with that extra crisp.
Wow...these were some tasty cookies! I doubled up on the lemon zest so it was pretty strong but I really liked that. The coconut was a very subtle flavor and texture. Every once in a while I would get a crunch from a flake but not very often. These would be perfect for those that aren't fans of coconut or want to sneak it in to foods of those that don't. I loved the combination of lemon and pecan. Tarty and crunchy! So yum!
I will definitely be making these again. They were tasty, simple, and quick. Great pick Jayne!

I'm glad these were easy and good for you! I hope your apartment move goes well.
Great job on the cookies! I used lemon too but it sounds like I enjoyed them a bit less than you. Good luck with your move.
Pecans and lemons must have been yummy. We loved these cookies.
Hi Heather,
First time commenting. The cookies prompted me to. They look delish, Are they suppose to be soft or crunchy?
I enjoy reading your blog!
Mmmmmm... pecans and lemon! That sounds delicious and they look gorgeous!
Well they look gorgeous! I liked these cookies more than I thought I would. I keep nibbling at them LOL
I used lemon too and thought they were wonderful. Pecans would have been delicious. I love pecans. I must try them like that.
Yum! I also preferred these delicious cookies on the crispier side.
These were way to easy to be sooooo good. I, too, will make them again, and again, and again.....
Yours look just right.
The beauty of shortbread is how nice and easy it is to make, well, and the butter! I bet they would be good extra crispy because they are so light and delicate.
