Coconut Shortbread

I made these cookies today to bring to a meeting this evening. I forgot them at home. More for me!

Coconut Shortbread
1/2 C Sugar
1 C softened coconut oil
1 1/2 C AP flour
1 t vanilla X
1/2 t salt
1/2 C shredded coconut

Mix coconut oil and sugar together until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth. Press into the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish (the bigger the pan, the thinner the cookie, the shorter the baking time!) and make sure it's as even as possible. Bake at 350 F for about 15 mintues or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bars or squares. Let cool completely before removing from pan and eating.

Because there is no water in coconut oil, these shortbread cookies are SHORT. And freaking amazing. And incredibly easy and quick to make.
