Ingredients

For the Biscotti:

6 tablespoons butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons coconut extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup toasted coconut

For the Glaze:

1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon coconut extract
2-3 teaspoons milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, salt, coconut extract, and baking powder until well combined and creamy.
Next, add the eggs and beat them into the batter until well mixed.
Now, add the flour and beat in until just combined. Stir in the toasted coconut. The dough will be sticky.
Turn dough out onto prepared baking sheet and form into a log. (Dust your hands with flour; dough is a bit sticky!)
Form log into a rectangle shape that is roughly 5" wide and 14" long.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and place baking sheet on a wire cooling rack so that air can circulate around the baking sheet. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Using the parchment paper, slide the log onto a large cutting board. Slice into 3/4" slices across the width of the log.
Place slices back onto baking sheet which has been lined with more parchment paper. Slices are cut side down. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven. Carefully turn the cookies over and bake for another 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to wire cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
Once cooled completely, whisk together the ingredients for the glaze. Drizzle over the biscotti and top with extra toasted coconut if desired.
Package biscotti for gift-giving or pile into a food-safe container. Leave at room temperature, or freeze until needed for up to 3 months.
