These are so good!! I love coconut and shortbread so this is an amazing combo! I made 1/2 the recipe since I only have 1 tart pan and cut them into slices like a pizza. I ended up cooking it for an extra 5 minutes on a cookie sheet and they turned out golden and crispy. Will be making these again, I cannot stop eating them! Made for 123Hits.

Delicious.......I did have to bake mine the extra time, but turned out beautifully. I think it's time to have my oven adjusted again! I've never tried shortbread with coconut, but rest assured I will be making this again. Thnx for sharing your recipe, swissms. Made for PRMR tag game.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary. I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :) I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US. My rating system: 5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often. 4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly. 3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak. 2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
