Classic Coconut Butter Biscuit
You know those days when you want a buttery, crisp treat without a fuss? This coconut butter biscuit recipe became my go-to after a rainy afternoon experiment—simple pantry staples transform into golden, coconut-flecked cookies that vanish almost instantly.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined—overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
- Fold in the shredded coconut with a spatula, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 1.5 inches apart) onto the prepared baking sheets. For evenly shaped biscuits, use a small cookie scoop.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Undeniably, the texture is a perfect balance—crisp edges with a tender, buttery center that melts on your tongue. I love serving these with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or dunking them in dark chocolate for an extra indulgence.
Chocolate Chip Coconut Butter Cookies
When the craving for something both buttery and tropical hits, these chocolate chip coconut butter cookies are my go-to. I love how the coconut butter adds a rich, nutty depth that pairs beautifully with dark chocolate chips. Trust me, one batch never lasts long in my kitchen.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted European-style butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large free-range eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup virgin coconut butter (not coconut oil)
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (64% cacao)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway to ensure even mixing.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs and vanilla bean paste; mix on low until just combined—do not overmix.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold in the virgin coconut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed. Tip: If the coconut butter is too firm, warm the jar slightly in a bowl of warm water to soften it.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Tip: Chilling prevents excessive spreading and deepens the flavors.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Tip: For chewier cookies, remove from oven when the center still looks slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Holding one of these cookies, you get that satisfying crisp edge giving way to a soft, chewy center dotted with melty chocolate. The subtle coconut flavor lingers beautifully, making them perfect for pairing with a cold glass of almond milk or a warm cup of chai.
Shredded Coconut Shortbread
When I first created this Shredded Coconut Shortbread, I was craving a buttery, crumbly cookie with a tropical twist. The combination of coconut butter and shredded coconut delivers a delicate sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s simply irresistible.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
For the Shortbread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup coconut butter, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and coconut butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes. Tip: Ensure both butters are at room temperature for easy creaming.
- Add the confectioners' sugar and continue beating for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix, or the shortbread will be tough.
- Fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut using a rubber spatula, distributing it evenly throughout the dough. Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it evenly into the bottom using your fingers or the back of a spoon. Aim for a uniform thickness for even baking.
- Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, score the dough into 24 squares (6 rows by 4 rows). Prick each square twice with the tines of a fork to allow steam to escape and prevent puffing.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. The shortbread will still be soft but will firm up as it cools.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Using the parchment overhang, lift the shortbread onto a cutting board and cut along the scored lines while still warm. Let cool completely before serving.
Vibrant with coconut flavor, these shortbread cookies are wonderfully crumbly yet rich. They pair beautifully with a cup of chai or make an elegant addition to any cookie platter—simply dust with extra confectioners' sugar for a polished finish.
Lemon Glazed Coconut Butter Cookies
Craving a cookie that's both bright and rich? These lemon glazed coconut butter cookies are my new obsession. I love how coconut butter adds a subtle tropical note without overpowering the lemon.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
Cookie Dough

- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (Tip: Use room temperature butter for best creaming.)
- Add beaten eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest; mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. (Tip: Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.)
- Fold in softened coconut butter until evenly distributed. Dough will be soft. (Tip: If dough is too sticky, chill for 15 minutes.)
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are just golden. Centers may look soft. (Tip: For chewier cookies, bake less; for crispier, add a minute.)
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare glaze: whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add milk if too thick.
- Dip tops of cooled cookies into glaze, letting excess drip off. Place on rack to set.
You'll find the glaze sets to a beautiful sheen, and each bite offers a burst of citrus with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Serve these at brunch or as a sunny afternoon treat—they never last long.
Vanilla Bean Coconut Butter Thumbprints
Lately, I've been obsessed with incorporating coconut butter into my baking—it adds such a rich, silky texture. These Vanilla Bean Coconut Butter Thumbprints are the perfect example: tender, buttery cookies with a hint of vanilla bean, filled with your favorite jam.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted European-style butter, softened
- 1/3 cup creamed coconut butter, well-stirred
- 1/2 cup organic granulated sugar
- 1 fresh vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam (or your choice)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, coconut butter, and sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add vanilla bean seeds and beaten egg; beat on low until just combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low until incorporated. Do not overmix; the dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. Chilling prevents excessive spreading during baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. If sticky, lightly dampen your hands.
- Using your thumb or the end of a wooden spoon, create a deep indentation in each ball.
- Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon jam into each indentation, being careful not to overfill.
- Bake 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underdone.
- Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glistening with jam and carrying a subtle coconut aroma, these cookies are a delightful twist on a classic. I love serving them with a dollop of clotted cream or alongside a cup of chai—feel free to experiment with different preserves!
Matcha Almond Coconut Butter Cookies
Nothing beats the earthy aroma of matcha combined with the nutty richness of coconut butter and almonds. These cookies are a perfect balance of flavors and textures, with a tender crumb and a beautiful green hue. I love baking them on lazy weekends—they make the kitchen smell like a serene tea house.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup culinary-grade matcha powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup pasture-raised unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup coconut butter, softened
- ¾ cup organic granulated sugar
- 1 pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted and cooled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, matcha powder, and fine sea salt until evenly combined. Tip: Sifting the matcha ensures no bitter clumps.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, softened coconut butter, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add the lightly beaten egg and pure vanilla extract, beating on low until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until a soft dough forms and no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the toasted sliced almonds with a spatula. Tip: For even distribution, gently fold rather than stir vigorously.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (about 1½ tablespoons each) and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball to about ½-inch thickness with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are just set and the centers still look slightly soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Tip: Overbaking dries out matcha cookies; look for a matte surface.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing in an airtight container. They keep well at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to a week; they actually get more flavorful after a day. I love serving them alongside a warm matcha latte or crumbling one over vanilla ice cream for a quick dessert. The subtle bitterness of matcha paired with the sweet, nutty crunch is simply irresistible.
Cinnamon Sugar Coconut Butter Snaps
Cravings for something crunchy and sweet hit me on a chilly afternoon, so I whipped up these Cinnamon Sugar Coconut Butter Snaps. They're incredibly easy to make and fill the kitchen with a warm, cozy aroma.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 14 minutes
Ingredients
For the Snaps
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup coconut butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
For the Coating
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the softened coconut butter and granulated sugar, then cut them into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a cohesive dough forms—you may not need all the water. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 10 minutes. (Tip: Chilling firms up the coconut butter, making the dough easier to roll.)
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about ⅛-inch thickness. Use a sharp knife or a fluted pastry wheel to cut into 3-inch long by ½-inch wide strips (snaps). Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. (Tip: Rotate the sheet halfway through for even browning. The snaps will firm up as they cool.)
- While the snaps bake, combine the coating sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Have the melted butter ready in another bowl.
- As soon as the snaps come out of the oven, let them cool for 1 minute. Then brush each warm snap lightly with melted butter and toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. (Tip: Work in small batches so the coating adheres while the snaps are still warm.)
- Transfer the coated snaps to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up as they cool.
A crunchy exterior gives way to a tender, buttery interior with a subtle coconut note. Serve these snaps warm for a next-level indulgence, or pack them in an airtight container for a week-long snack—if they last that long.
Peanut Butter Coconut Butter Cookies
Every time I bake these peanut butter coconut butter cookies, I'm transported back to my grandma's kitchen, where the aroma of peanut butter and toasted coconut meant something special was on its way. These aren't your average cookies—they're rich, protein-packed, and have that irresistible chew from the coconut butter. Perfect for a midday pick-me-up or a post-workout treat.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (preferably natural, no sugar added)
- ¼ cup coconut butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, and coconut butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture and beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Tip: Proper creaming incorporates air, which helps cookies rise—don't rush this step.
- Beat in the beaten egg and vanilla extract until just combined, about 30 seconds. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until no streaks of flour remain. The dough will be soft but not sticky. Tip: Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky—this prevents excessive spreading.
- Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls. If desired, roll each ball in shredded coconut for extra texture and visual appeal. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underdone. They will continue setting as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Tip: For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and cool on the pan.
Love how these cookies stay soft and chewy in the center with slightly crisp, golden edges—the perfect contrast. For an extra protein boost, sandwich two cookies with a smear of additional peanut butter or coconut butter. They also freeze beautifully, so make a double batch and stash some for busy weeks ahead.

Biting into one of these cookies, you get a crisp edge with a soft, chewy center, and the subtle coconut richness pairs beautifully with the warm ginger and molasses. For a festive twist, sandwich two cookies with a dollop of coconut cream frosting—pure holiday magic.
Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Coconut Butter Cookies
Lately, I've been obsessed with the salty-sweet combo, and these Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Coconut Butter Cookies are my latest kitchen triumph. The richness of dark chocolate flakes meets the subtle tropical note of coconut butter, all balanced with a delicate sprinkle of sea salt.

- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. (Tip: Do not overmix; overworking develops gluten, making cookies tough.)
- Step 5: Fold in the hand-chopped dark chocolate flakes until evenly distributed. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. (Tip: Chilling prevents spreading and enhances flavors.)
- Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Perfectly crisp at the edges and tender in the middle, these cookies boast a deep caramelized flavor from the browned butter and coconut. Serve with a cold glass of oat milk or crumbled over vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
Honey Oat Coconut Butter Cookies
For years, I've chased the perfect chewy cookie – one that's not too sweet, with a satisfying texture from oats and a subtle richness from coconut butter. This honey oat coconut butter cookie recipe came together on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and it's been a staple ever since.

- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup virgin coconut butter, softened
- 3/4 cup wildflower honey
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

- In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together softened butter and coconut butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add honey and beat until incorporated, scraping down sides as needed.
- Add beaten egg and vanilla bean paste; mix until just combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing on low speed until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix. (Tip: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies; stop as soon as it comes together.)
- Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling prevents spreading and enhances chewiness.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. (Tip: Use a cookie scoop for uniform size.)
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and golden but centers are still slightly soft. (Tip: For chewier cookies, pull them when they look underdone; they continue to set on the hot pan.)
- Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Remember, the slight underbake is key – they'll be perfectly chewy once cooled. I love these with a drizzle of extra honey or a pinch of flaky sea salt on top right out of the oven. They also freeze beautifully for quick treats.
Maple Pecan Coconut Butter Cookies
There’s something magical about the trio of maple, pecan, and coconut—they just belong together. The first time I tested this recipe, I accidentally doubled the coconut butter, and honestly, it was the best mistake I ever made. These chewy, nutty cookies have become my go-to for cozy afternoons and last-minute potlucks.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted European-style butter, softened
- ¾ cup organic maple syrup
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup coconut butter (manna), softened
- 1 cup toasted pecans, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat softened butter, maple syrup, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides.
- Add the beaten egg and vanilla bean paste, then mix on low until just combined. The batter may look slightly curdled—that’s fine.
- Add the softened coconut butter and mix on low until smooth, about 30 seconds. Tip: Coconut butter can be stiff; warm the jar slightly in a bowl of hot water to soften it without melting.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the chopped pecans with a spatula. Tip: Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too sticky—this prevents spreading and ensures a chewy center.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough (about 1½ tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10–12 minutes, rotating halfway through, until edges are golden brown and centers are still slightly soft. Tip: For even baking, use an oven thermometer to verify temperature; ovens vary.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Make sure to let these cookies cool completely before storing—they develop an even deeper maple flavor overnight, almost like a caramelized nut butter. I love pairing them with a steaming cup of Earl Grey tea for an afternoon pick-me-up, or crumbling one over vanilla ice cream for an indulgent sundae.

- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft. (Tip: For perfectly even cookies, rotate the pans halfway through baking.)
- Let the cookies cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Underneath the crisp, buttery exterior, each bite reveals a tender, almost fudgy center with a subtle crunch from the sesame. These cookies are divine with a cup of matcha latte, or crumbled over vanilla ice cream for a elevated twist. Be warned: they vanish fast.
Double Chocolate Coconut Butter Cookies
Kicking off the holiday baking season, I've been obsessing over pairings that feel both indulgent and unique. Enter these Double Chocolate Coconut Butter Cookies: intensely chocolatey from rich cocoa and dark chocolate chunks, with a subtle, nutty richness from coconut butter that keeps them impossibly soft. They've become my new go-to for cookie swaps and cozy afternoons.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup coconut butter, well-stirred and at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao), coarsely chopped
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt until uniform; set aside.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the softened butter, coconut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (Tip: Ensure your coconut butter is well-stirred to avoid clumps.)
- Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides.
- Reduce speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. (Tip: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies—stop as soon as combined.)
- Fold in the chopped dark chocolate chunks using a rubber spatula. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 48 hours) to prevent spreading and develop flavor.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons (about 1.5 inches) of dough, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on each.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone. (Tip: For chewy centers, pull them at the first sign of golden edges.)
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Zipping through a dozen of these cookies in one sitting is far too easy—their edges are crispy, centers are fudgy, and the double chocolate hit is pure bliss. I love serving them slightly warm with a glass of oat milk or dunked in a dark roast coffee. The coconut butter adds a whisper of tropical richness that elevates every bite without shouting for attention.
Orange Zest Coconut Butter Biscotti
Rummaging through my pantry on a rainy afternoon, I stumbled upon a jar of coconut butter and a bag of organic oranges—and just like that, these Orange Zest Coconut Butter Biscotti were born. Twice-baked to a satisfying crunch, they’re loaded with fragrant citrus and rich coconut, making them the ultimate coffee companion. I love how the dough comes together in minutes, and the aroma that fills the kitchen is pure comfort.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients & Flavorings
- 2 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup (80ml) coconut butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the beaten eggs, melted coconut butter, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and emulsified.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. It will be slightly sticky—don't overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it in half. Shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- Using a serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces. For cleaner cuts, use a gentle sawing motion and let the biscotti cool a bit more if still too soft.
- Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip each slice and bake for another 10 minutes, until golden and dry. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack and cool completely. They will be very crunchy once cooled.
- Tip: If you prefer a softer biscotti, reduce the second bake time by 2–3 minutes per side. For extra coconut flavor, brush the baked biscotti with a little more melted coconut butter.
Don’t be surprised if these biscotti disappear faster than you expect—their crunch is utterly addictive. I love serving them with a dark chocolate dip or a dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of elegance. Either way, they’re proof that simple pantry ingredients can create something truly special.
Pistachio Rose Coconut Butter Cookies
Baking these Pistachio Rose Coconut Butter Cookies has become my favorite way to bring a touch of elegance to a simple cookie jar. The combination of floral rose and nutty pistachio, bound together with rich coconut butter, creates a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels special yet approachable.
Serving: 24 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut butter, softened
- 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon food-grade rose water
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, finely chopped (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened coconut butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. (Tip: coconut butter can be grainy; ensure it's well softened for a smooth texture.)
- Add the lightly beaten pasture-raised egg and rose water to the coconut mixture, and beat on low until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in the 1/2 cup of finely chopped pistachios using a rubber spatula.
- Place the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped pistachios in a small bowl. Scoop dough by heaping tablespoons (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll each ball in the pistachios to coat lightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are just set. (Tip: rotate the pan halfway through for even browning.)
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Vibrant with a hint of rose and the crunch of pistachio, these cookies are perfect with a cup of Earl Grey tea. The coconut butter gives them a tender crumb that stays soft for days—if they last that long.
