Put butter and granulated sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and coconut extract, if desired. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Divide dough into thirds; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm but malleable, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Roll out dough between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment to 1/4 inch thick. Repeat, and stack between parchment on a baking sheet. Freeze or refrigerate dough until firm, 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut out shapes with a floured cutter. Space 11/2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment. To decorate with sugar, lightly brush with water and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until edges are golden, 11 to 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets 3 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. If frosting cookies, put glaze in a small pastry bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as Ateco #6), and pipe onto cookies. Alternatively, spread glaze on cookies using a small offset spatula. Let glaze dry completely, or sprinkle with sugar or sprinkles when still wet then let dry completely, at least 2 hours.

Once incorporated, add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add in the flour mixture and beat until no more flour spots are visible. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut by hand. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Scoop out a 2-tablespoon size portion of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Continue scooping and rolling until you have about 10 to 12 cookies per sheet, leaving 2-inches between them. Bake until the edges have set, but the center is still soft, about 14 minutes.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the baking sheets cool completely and bake the remaining dough. (Alternatively, the remaining cookie dough can be wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month.)

COCONUT-SUGAR CRINKLE COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook shredded coconut, stirring often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes (coconut will continue to darken after you remove it from heat). Scrape into a small bowl and let cool slightly.
• Open coconut milk without shaking can and scoop solidified coconut cream off the top into a small bowl; set aside for ganache (you'll need 5 Tbsp.). Reserve remaining coconut milk.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a medium bowl to combine. Whisk eggs, vanilla, salt, 1½ cups coconut sugar, and 3 Tbsp. reserved coconut milk in a large bowl. Whisk in half of dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, mix in shredded coconut mixture, then add remaining dry ingredients and mix just until no dry streaks remain. Cover dough and chill at least 2 hours.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Place powdered sugar and remaining ⅓ cup coconut sugar in separate shallow bowls. Using a #20 cookie scoop (or a heaping 3 Tbsp.), portion out 18 pieces of dough and roll into smooth balls between your palms. Working one at a time, gently toss balls in coconut sugar to coat, then toss in powdered sugar. Divide cookies between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing at least 2" apart.
• Bake 1 sheet of cookies, rotating baking sheet front to back halfway through, until centers of cookies are puffed and edges are just firm, 16-18 minutes. Repeat with remaining sheet of cookies (baking the sheets one at a time gives your cookies the best crinkles). Let cookies cool 20 minutes on baking sheets. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Turn half of cookies over. Do ahead: Dough can be made 3 days ahead; keep chilled. Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.
• Heat white chocolate, rum, salt, and 5 Tbsp. reserved coconut cream in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water), stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Chill ganache until cool but not solid, about 1 hour.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat ganache until light and spreadable, about 1 minute. Spread a layer of ganache over upside down cookies. Top each with a right-side up cookie, pressing gently to adhere. Do ahead: Ganache can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before beating.
