COCONUT OIL SHORTBREAD COOKIE RECIPE

These coconut oil shortbread cookies are a hit in my household, I love enjoying one with my coffee in the morning and the kids love having them as a dessert with a little chocolate drizzled over.

These are great with or without a topping. If you choose to add a topping; chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, coconut flakes or almonds are wonderful options.

We make these with our KitchenAid mixer, and it couldn’t be easier! But aΒ hand mixer works just as well!

They are vegan and can be made gluten free.

Coconut Oil Shortbread Cookies

These amazing Coconut Oil Shortbread Cookies, are vegan, easy to make and only 6 ingredients including coconut oil. They do not have a strong coconut flavor and taste like a simple shortbread cookie!
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Italian
Keyword: Coconut Oil, Cookies, Tea, Vegan
Servings: 14 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil room temperature
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar or granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add your room temperature coconut oil. It should be solid, but not hard. With an electric mixer on medium-high, mix coconut oil until it's smooth and not chunky.
  • Add your sugar, vanilla extract, salt and water and mix for another 2-3 minutes until combined.
  • Now with a large spoon, stir in the flour until combined.
  • The dough shouldn't be soft and soggy but it shouldn't be dry and crumbling either. Aim for the between, if it's too dry add a little more water; if it's too soggy add a little more flour.
  • Grab a piece of syran wrap or wax paper and sprinkle a little flour so the dough doesn't stick to the wrap/paper. The dough needs to be formed into a log shape about 2 inches in circumference and then wrapped in the wrap or paper. This can be done with your hands.
  • Wrap tightly and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350Β° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • When your dough is hard and ready, take out of fridge and unwrap it. With a sharp knife cut into 1/2 inch pieces and place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 or until the edges are little brown. Transfer them to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving.
  • *Optional: You can drizzle baking chocolate over them and add some sprinkles. They make perfect holiday treats for Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas, ect.

    Taste and texture fantastic. I sprinkled white sugar across the top before baking as my coconut oil has a strong taste. They were a bit crumbly when I went to cut after baking but maybe they were too warm still. I pressed my cookies into a pan and cut them after, which was different to the recipe. Still came out great πŸ‘πŸ»

    I am a terrible baker, and I didn’t mess these up! I was looking for an easy dairy-free cookie recipe that I could make for a cookie exchange with my students, one of whom is allergic to dairy. This was perfect – really easy and so tasty. I like that they’re not too sweet.

    Wow! These really surprised me. As I ate one I said outloud “I wasn’t expecting that!” (only because the ingredients were few and simple-other coconut oil biscuits requiring eggs etc) These have a lovely chewy texture and clean feeling and aftertaste. Sweet enough plain, and would make a great gift as they taste like Cafe quality! This recipe will be added to my regular list. Thankyou!

    I was skeptical about the low sugar in this recipe, even wondered if it was a typo. I tasted the dough and it was okay. But I followed the directions and the cookies turned out great in the end! I rolled half the batch in cinnamon sugar and put chocolate chips in the other half. For how simple these are I will definitely make them again. Thanks!

    Instead of rolling the dough and cutting chilled slices, I tried our family tradition of pressing the dough into a cast iron skillet.
    I used a metal measuring cup base to press the dough about a quarter inch deep into the ungreased skillet , smoothed the edges with a spoon and made some ridge patterns on the top with a fork.
    Then, with a sharp knife I carefully scored the dough to make pizza like pieces.
    It turned out very well, just like the old days!
    Thanks for a great recipe.

    I loved them. This is my third time making them. Because of where I live, I omit the water and they turn out perfectly. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Hmm, this dough tastes amazing but it’s SUPER crumbly. I’m not able to make a cookie out of the chilled dough thus far :/
    I’ll wait for it to thaw and maybe they’ll turn out.

    Never mind on the question. Sorry, I just saw that you explained more in the actual recipe part on the bottom. One more thing… Can this be refrigerated overnight?

    What does room temperature mean? Some people might have liquid coconut oil where they live and others might be solid. Mine is solid at room temperature

    In an attempt to make dairy free treats for a family member, I’ve subbed coconut oil for butter in numerous cookies recipes, only to experience excessively flat and crumbly results. So I was wary even trying this recipe, but I’m so happy that I did! These cookies held their shape and only melted once they were in my mouth. My family member loved them, I loved them, and they will become a part of my personal rotation from now on since they’re SO easy!

    I used coconut sugar since it was all I had on hand and it made the cookies browner, but didn’t seem to affect texture to my knowledge. I also used refined coconut oil to keep them from tasting too coconut-y. Overall this was a wonderful and simple recipe (waiting on the dough to cool is the hardest part, I ended up using my freezer because I was impatient), thank you for sharing!

    Came out nicely! I added some raspberry jam as well as a lemon frosting on top of the cookies for some color and flavor.
