    Lost cookie recipe

    Reply Contact

    I am looking for a lost cookie recipe.  You roll the dough in a log and refrigerate.  You also make a log out of coconut and egg whites and refrigerate this.  After they are chilled you cut them and put a slice of dough on a cookie sheet and then a slice of the coconut on top.  You then put a piece of cherry on top and bake.  Can anyone help me find this?

    It sounds good but I don't have a recipe for anything like this.  If you do find it post it so we can try it!!

    I wonder if this what you want.

    Actually the recipe is susposed to have a chocolate topping on it.

    Coconut Top Hats

    A multi-layered cookie with a sugar cookie base, a sweet coconut topping,  and a cherry For the base:
    1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
    1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
    1 egg yolk
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    For the coconut topping:
    2 cups finely shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 egg white
    1 tablespoon water
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla



    Garnish:
    24 Maraschino or candied cherries, red and/or green, halved     For the dough:
    In a mixing bowl beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Blend in flour and salt. Shape dough into a 10" long log, wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 2 hours. Meanwhile, prepare coconut topping.

    For the topping:
    Combine coconut, sugar, unbeaten egg white, water and vanilla; chill.

    Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Cut chilled cookie dough into 1/8" slices and place on prepared baking sheet. Top cookies with 1 teaspoon of the coconut topping and spread almost to the edges of the cookies. Bake about 10 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool cookies on wire racks.

    Sandy, This sounds a lot like the lost recipe and I think you may be right about the chocolate.   Do you melt the chocolate and put it on the top.

     Thanks a lot,

    1 cup semi sweet chocolate morsals

    When cookies are cooled, melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot (not boiling) water. Spread melted chocolate on the top of cooled cookies. Top each cookie with a cherry half.
