These delicate coconut Linzer cookies are an ideal choice for anyone who loves tender dough, the aroma of butter, and a subtle hint of coconut.

The cookies have a beautifully fluffy texture, a pleasant coconut flavor, and with the chocolate coating they’re even better than from a bakery.

For 60 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

300 g butter (softened, room temperature)
100 g powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
6 tablespoons lukewarm milk
350 g all-purpose flour
60 g grated coconut

To finish:

150 g milk chocolate
50 g grated coconut

Preparation procedure

Preparing the dough In a bowl, beat the butter with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy (about 8–10 minutes). Gradually beat in the egg yolks — one at a time; once the first is fully incorporated, add the second. Pour in the lukewarm milk and mix briefly. Add the all-purpose flour and work into a smooth, compact dough. Finally fold in the grated coconut and mix the dough once more until uniform.
Shaping the cookies Prepare a piping bag fitted with a decorating tip. Fill the bag in smaller portions — it's easier to work with. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pipe various shapes — circles, stars, strips, or small meringue-like kisses. Leave a small gap between the cookies; they will rise slightly during baking.
Baking Preheat the oven to 180 °C (top and bottom heat). Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, until the edges begin to turn lightly golden. After baking, let them cool completely — only then will they be firm and ready to finish.
Chocolate coating and coconut Melt the milk chocolate in a bain-marie and let it cool slightly. Dip each cookie partially into the chocolate or lightly drizzle chocolate over it. Sprinkle the surface with grated coconut. Let dry at room temperature or chill to allow the chocolate to set more quickly.
