Oatmeal Coconut Icebox Cookies

Makes about 4 dozen cookies
Time 9 hr 35 min
These coconut-scented cookies are both crispy and chewy, with a texture that falls between a gingersnap and a macaroon. The best thing about old-fashioned icebox cookies is that the dough is made in advance, so it’s ready to bake whenever you need a cookie fix.

Method

Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

Combine coconut oil, shortening and both sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, and beat until they are completely incorporated.

Blend in flour mixture, and then stir in oats, coconut and nuts until just combined.

Shape the dough into 3 rolls, each about 2 inches in diameter.

Wrap each roll in parchment paper and then refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or up to 2 days).

When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Slice the dough into 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place on the baking sheets.

Top each round with a sprinkling of turbinado sugar.

Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.

Cool cookies briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely. Stored in an airtight container, these cookies will keep for a week.
