Coconut Cookie Snow Globes

These whimsical, customizable treats are perfect for any theme or color scheme. Soft coconut cookies form the base, topped with a mini cookie inside a clear dome. Sprinkle a little sparkle, add decorations, and create a magical edible display.

Yields 8–12 cookies

• 1/2 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg, separated
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp coconut extract
• 1 cup flour
• 2/3 cup shredded coconut
• 1/4 tsp baking powder

Garnishes

• frosting
• shredded coconut
• mini cookies or decorations
• dome-shaped plastic covers
• sparkle powder (optional)

Mix margarine, sugar, and egg yolk until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and coconut extracts. Add egg white, flour, shredded coconut, and baking powder, and mix until a soft dough forms.

To shape the cookies, roll the dough to 1/4-inch (1/2-cm) thick on a floured surface and cut 2 1/2-inch (6-cm) circles with cookie cutters. With the remaining dough, cut some mini cookies for inside the snow globes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake cookies for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
