Tuesdays with Dorie - Coconut Butter Thins

This recipe made me feel like I was running my own little bakery! There was just something about rolling the cookies out and cutting them so precisely that really made me feel special!

My absolute favorite part was poking the fork tines into the cut up squares. It was lovely my friends, just lovely.

I followed the recipe and directions exactly and was pleased with the results. I have a huge love for macadamia nuts, and you know I'm loving zest in anything these days...so these Coconut Butter Thins were a winner.

We've had lots of family in town this week so I was happy to share the 32 cookies that came out of the recipe. In fact, all of them were gone in less than four hours. That made me feel great on many levels, but especially because I knew I wouldn't be tempted to eat them that night and the next day! ...they really were that good.

You can find the recipe for Dorie's Coconut Butter Thins on Jayne's blog, The Barefoot Kitchen Witch. Be sure to visit the Tuesdays with Dorie blogroll to see all the other lovely shortbread cookies!

Next week: Banana Cream Pie {I'm considering skipping, leave a comment to persuade me to make it!}
