Maple Shortbread Cookies

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Easy maple shortbread squares with coconut and butter.

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour and sugar; cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Press into an 8-inch square baking pan. Bake at 375° for 15 to 20 minutes.

Combine coconut, syrup, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, until coconut has absorbed most of the syrup, about 10 minutes. Spread over warm crumb crust mixture and return to the oven for 10 minutes longer. Cut into squares while warm. Makes about 16 squares.
