Soft & Pillowy Coconut Frosted Cookies

1. 1

   Melt the butter and allow to cool.

2. 2

   Cream the butter and sugar together with a whisk. Whisk in the eggs (one at a time), vanilla, and spices. Add the baking soda, baking powder and flour. Mix until just incorporated - the dough will be wet and sticky.

3. 3

   Scoop cookie dough and using wet hands form into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet (don't press down on the balls, you want the cookies to have that pillowy dome shape).

4. 4

   Bake at 350*F for 10 minutes or until light golden brown. The cookies should still be very soft and look underbaked. Let them cool on a rack before frosting.

5. 5

   While the cookies are cooling combine the icing sugar in a small bowl with the coconut. Slowly add coconut milk 1 tsp at a time, making sure that the first tsp is fully incorporated before adding the next. The frosting should be thick and spreadable with a butter knife. If not, add more coconut milk (sparingly!) or icing sugar until the desired consistency is reached.

6. 6

   Spread the frosting on the cooled cookie and allow it to harden before eating.
