turn dough out onto a floured surface.
gently press together, then cut into smaller pieces (i made 12).

then sprinkle with extra sugar.
bake 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Catie,
Do you think this would work with all coconut milk and no heavy cream? I've got a great vegan butter substitute. Hoping I can veganize these!

emily, yes! i was thinking that as i was making these. i used full-fat coconut milk, and it was VERY thick. i totally think it would work. you might even be able to sub some of the butter for coconut oil, but i've never tried that. vegan powers: VEGANIZE!!! ♥

Thanks Catie. Coconut oil is a great idea too! I'll let you know if it works, but I won't be making them for a while.....: )
