Cookie
1 cup sugar
34 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
12 teaspoon rum flavoring, if desired
2 14 cups all-purpose flour
12 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup plain or toasted sweetened flaked coconut
Glaze
1 12 cups powdered sugar
13 cup orange or apricot marmalade
1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice
Plain or toasted sweetened flaked coconut, if desired
STEP 1
Combine sugar, butter, cream cheese and rum flavoring in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add flour and baking soda; beat at low speed until well mixed. Stir in coconut. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 2
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 3
Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; roll each into 2-inch logs. Shape into crescent on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned. Remove to cooling racks; cool completely.
STEP 4
Combine powdered sugar, marmalade and enough orange juice for desired glazing consistency. Frost cooled cookies with glaze. Sprinkle with coconut, if desired. Let stand about 1 hour until glaze is set.
STEP 5
Store in single layer between sheets of waxed paper in loosely covered container.
- Be sure cream cheese and butter are very soft to prevent lumps when mixing.
- To toast coconut, spread coconut in single layer on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350°F., stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from baking sheet. Cool completely.
Recipe Tip:
Omit the glaze and sprinkle cookies with powdered sugar instead.
