Coconut Cookie Slices (Danish Fedtebrod) Recipe

Name: Coconut Cookie Slices (Danish Fedtebrod)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g); 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for rolling out; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 cup butter (125 g); 8 tablespoons sweetened coconut (65 g); 1/2 cup sugar (65 g); Icing; 3/4 cup icing sugar (100 g); 2 tablespoons milk (I have read that egg white instead of water gives a nicer glace, but have not tried this myself); sweetened coconut (optional)

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Mix all ingredients until a dough consistency forms.
3
Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
4
Roll each portion into a 2.5 inch strip, about a 1/4 inch (or thinner) thick.
5
Make icing; icing should be ready once cookies are removed from oven.
6
Bake the strips at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 10 minutes.
7
Remove from oven and WHILE STILL WARM brush with icing. If you wish you can also sprinkle with a bit of sweetened coconut on top of icing.
8
WHILE STILL WARM cut the strips diagonally into 1 inch strips (now you have 1 x 2.5 inch cookies). The cookies will seem really fragile while cutting but they harden as they cool.
9
Place on cooling rack and let cool. (I let mine cool right on the baking sheet).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
