1/4 lb (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup sugar (I used 1/2 cup) 1t pure vanilla extract 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/4t kosher salt 1 egg beaten with 1T water, for egg wash 7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut Raspberry and / or apricot jam
i) In an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar until they are just combined and then add the vanilla. Separately, sift together the flour and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until the dough starts to come together. Dump on a floured board and roll together into a flat disc. 懶人版旁注:我就把上麵所述的所有原料倒入mixing bowl中,用手攪拌均勻。 Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
ii) Roll the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Dip each ball into the egg wash and then roll it in coconut. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and press a light indentation into the top of each with your finger. Drop 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation. 注:一根butter可以做20個。
