Beat 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup icing sugar until smooth. (about 2 minutes)
Add egg, egg yolks and vanilla extract and mix for about 1 minute.
Add sifted flour and stir until blended.
Shape into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap.
Chill for about 3 hours.
After chilling….
Time to play with your dough…
Roll it out to 1/4 inch thick.
Cut out the cookies using large cookie cutter. I used 3 1/2 inches or about 9 cm.
From this recipe I got 14 large cookies.
Place the cookies on the baking tray.
Bake cookies at 350 F for 11 minutes.
(it should be lightly browned around the edges)
Cool the cookies.
Making Coconut Topping
Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in a medium size saucepan.
Heat over medium temperature until boils. (don't stir)
When it boils, cover with lid and boil for 2 minutes.
Your next step is to uncover and continue boiling until amber colored.
For me it was 9 minutes. (again, don't stir, just let it boil for 9 minutes)
At this point reduce heat to low and add heavy cream.
Please, add heavy cream very carefully and stir until incorporated. (about 1 minute)
Remove from heat and add toasted coconut.
Spread 1 TBSP over each cookie and then keep building.
You can add as much or as little as you want to each cookie.
Drizzle with melted chocolate.
Enjoy and share.
