White Christmas Pie Cookies

GUEST POST: White Christmas Pie Cookies from Created by Diane

I’m bringing White Christmas Pie Cookies to the party today and I want to thank Katrina so much for inviting me. I will be adding many to my must bake list! I remember many years ago my mom making White Christmas Pie, It was white and fluffy and covered with coconut on top. It was so pretty and white, I do believe that if you served it, you could just be lucky enough to wind up with a “White” Christmas. Oh how wonderful that would be to have the ground covered in snow. Chances are it won’t be happening at my home this year, we live in Southern California. I lived here for 12 years and before that I lived in New Jersey where I was born and raised and can remember having a White Christmas a time or two, maybe it was because my mom made White Christmas Pie. Well, anything is possible. It is Christmas after all. The time of believing anything is possible.

I took my fond memory of my moms Christmas Pie and make it into a coconut sugar cookie, with very fluffy white coconut frosting topped with….oh you guessed it…coconut. The focus on my blog Created by Diane is on both sweet treats as well as savory recipes. I like to prepare easy dinners and fun appetizers along with all the yummy desserts. I hope you’ll stop by and say hi!

Pressing the dough into the deep dish cookie pan with the bottom of a measuring cup makes the tops smooth.

The cookies removed easily with a plastic spreader, I place it on the edge of one of the cookies and pop them out when they are cooled.

Pipe the fluffy frosting onto the cookies and top with coconut.
