Coconut Butter Buttons Recipes

COCONUT BUTTONS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the milk and coconut extract; continue to cream until light and fluffy. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir this into the creamed mixture with a wooden spoon, then stir in the coconut. The dough will seem crumbly, you may need to use your hands to help it come together. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll into 10 inch long logs. Wrap logs in plastic or wax paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F ( 165 degrees C ).
• Cut each log into 1/2 inch slices with a serrated knife. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet. Using a toothpick or pencil, make 4 holes in each cookie to resemble a button. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on wire racks. When the cookies are cool, melt the shortening and semi sweet chocolate together in a microwave or over a double boiler; mix well. Dip the cookies halfway into the chocolate and scrape off the excess with a spatula or your finger. Place them on wax paper to set.

COCONUT BUTTER BUTTONS

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a food processor or mixer.
• Use a spatula to scrape all the coconut butter off the sides of the bowl.
• Scoop mixture into a ziplock bag.
• Coconut butter and coconut oil will begin to melt at 76°. If your coconut butter mixture is melted you'll need to refrigerate it for 5-10 minutes so it firms up.
• Cut the tip off one of the corners of the bag and squeeze button size drops of coconut butter onto a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet.
• Once you've used up all the coconut butter you'll want to put the buttons into the refrigerator to set up.
• After they've hardened you'll want to remove them from the cookie sheet and store them in a container in the refrigerator or freezer.
