Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Base:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

For the Lemon Coconut Filling:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for added depth)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine flour and powdered sugar, then cut in butter until crumbly. Shape dough into balls, flatten, and bake.
  2. Step 2: Shape and Bake the Cookies – Form dough into balls, flatten, and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let cool.
  3. Step 3: Make the Lemon Coconut Filling – Whisk eggs and sugar, add flour, baking powder, lemon juice, coconut, and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Lemon Filling – Cook the mixture in a saucepan until thickened. Let cool.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Cookies – Spoon filling between cookies to make sandwiches. Sprinkle with shredded coconut.

Notes

  • Chill the Filling: Let the lemon filling cool completely before assembling the cookies to prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: For a brighter, more intense flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled.
  • Add Coconut on Top: Garnishing with extra coconut adds texture and enhances the tropical theme of the cookies.
