These cookie slices were my absolute favorites growing up in Denmark; they are simple but yet so delicious - especially if you are a sweetened coconut fan. This is an old family recipe; I have tried to search the origin but it goes hundreds of years back literally. I have done my best to convert recipe into cups/tbsp but if you have a scale I recommend that you weigh the ingredients instead of using the other measures. The cookies freeze well.

SERVES 30 , 30 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (125 g)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter (125 g)
5 tablespoons sweetened coconut (65 g)
1/4 cup sugar (65 g)

Icing

3/4 cup icing sugar (100 g)
2 tablespoons water (I have read that egg white instead of water gives a nicer glace, but have not tried this myself)
sweetened coconut (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
2
Mix all ingredients until a dough consistency forms.
3
Divide dough into 3 equal portions and roll each portion into a 2.5 inch strip, about a 1/4 inch (or thinner) thick.
4
Make icing - should be ready once cookies are removed from oven.
5
Bake the 3 strips at 400 F for approx 10 min
6
Remove from oven and WHILE STILL WARM brush with icing. If you wish you can also sprinkle with a bit of sweetened coconut on top of icing.
7
WHILE STILL WARM cut the strips diagonally into 1 inch strips (now you have 1 x 2.5 inch cookies).
8
Place on cooling rack and let cool.
