The flavor of the browned butter fosting is heavenly. Browned butter makes everything better! It will take a good 5 to 7 minutes to get the butter the right color and it is worth every single one of those minutes.

With a thick layer of frosting and lots of toasted coconut sprinkled on top, these cookies are like snow balls and perfect for winter. They taste so light and fluffy, they really are like clouds.

Fans of cake cookies will adore these coconut-flavored cookies. I know they’ve become one of my favorite cookies to bake.

How To Toast Coconut

You will need toasted coconut for this recipe. I recommend doing it one of two ways.

  1. Toast in the oven. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spread the coconut out in a thin layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 miniutes, stirring several times.
  2. Toast in a skillet. Place coconut in a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Stir almost continuously until coconut is golden.

Storage

Coconut Clouds can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days.
