Option to roll into a log and slice into cookie rounds.
Or roll out thicker between two sheets of parchment paper and cut into rectangular shortbreads.
Let the cookies cool completely before handling them. They are very soft and brittle when warm, but firm up and gain a lovely crunch when they are cold.
The coconut glaze does not become rock hard. I love the gentle coconut taste, but if you prefer, you can also mix powdered erythritol with a splash of water and a few drops of vanilla extract. This makes a glaze that hardens.
Store in an airtight container for put o 2 weeks. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months.
