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.

Frost the cookies generously and dip into shredded coconut. Place mini cookies or decorations on top. Spritz lightly with sparkle powder, if desired.

Cover the decorated cookies with dome-shaped plastic covers to create a snow globe effect.

Cookies can be baked in advance and frozen; decorate and assemble fresh.
