I experienced these cookies yesterday! They are awesome. Your brother, Carey blessed our PT/OT Christmas party by sharing them. I will definitely be trying them during the holidays.

These look great, I was going to ask how long they kept, but reading the comments I have my answer. I like to give gifts of cookies to friends who no longer bake but enjoy something homemade and really need things that would last a week or two.

Hi Rita,

Thank you so much! I made this recipe with sweetened coconut, just as my granny did. I usually do use unsweetened and have been meaning to try this recipe with it. The only difference will be that unsweetened coconut tends to be dry and will want to soak up lots of the maple. This could be a good thing, or not???

If you try it before me please write back and tell me how it goes!

Best, Zoë

Zoe, just discovered and adore your website. For these shortbread cookies, do you recommend sweetened coconut flakes or unsweetened. Thanks much!

Hi Katharine,

I have to do some research on this! I’ve never baked at high altitude, but I know people that have. I’ll check with them and get back to you. If you do try cutting the flour by 1/2 cup, let me know if it works!

Thanks, Zoë

question: the shortbread was kind of crumbly- I am thinking I should cut back on the flour ( 1/2 cup?)at our altitude ( 5280 ft)

Hi Carrie,

I just froze a batch and will report back how they do! At room temperature, wrapped really well they should last for at least a few days. My aunt insists that she likes shortbread that has sat around for at least a couple of days!?

Enjoy!

These cookies like like a dream with a cup of coffee alongside them. How long do you think they stay fresh? I am baking gifts this holiday and looking for cookies that don’t go flat too quickly.
