Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, powdered sugar, and cubed cold butter. Use an electric mixer on low speed until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the eggs, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. While the cookies bake, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and baking powder in another bowl. Stir in fresh lemon juice and shredded coconut.
  6. Once cooled, spoon the filling onto half of each cookie and top with another cookie. Press gently to adhere and sprinkle with additional coconut.
