Ingredients

Cookie

Glaze

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

Cookie

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Keep the mixer running on low and add the coconut oil about 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should start looking slightly crumbly. Add the vanilla and Greek yogurt and mix just until large pieces of dough start to clump together.
  • The dough will be slightly crumbly which is normal. If it is too crumbly to form into balls and keeps cracking or breaking, add more milk 1/2 tablespoon at a time.
  • Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls about 1-inch big. Finish rolling into balls with your hands. Place the dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to turn a very light brown.
  • Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.

Glaze

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add greek yogurt, milk and powdered sugar and beat until smooth using a hand mixer until combined. The frosting should be thin enough to easily dip a cookie into. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
  • Once the cookies have cooled, dip the top of each cookie into the frosting. Then dip into the shredded coconut. Let cookies cool completely before storing. Enjoy!
