DIRECTIONS: STEP 1: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

STEP 2: Melt butter and set aside to cool.

STEP 3: Grate and juice lemons; set aside.

STEP 4: Combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

STEP 5: In a stand mixer or large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together 1 cup sugar, egg and egg yolk until combined, about 1-2 minutes.

STEP 6: Add vanilla, coconut extract and melted butter, mixing well to combine.

STEP 7: Add in lemon juice and lemon zest, mixing well until fully incorporated.

STEP 8: Add in dry ingredients, mixing slowly until just combined (do not over mix). Slowly add in coconut flakes just until combined; dough will be very sticky. Cover and chill in the freezer for 25 minutes or in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.

STEP 9: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Once dough is chilled, use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough, and roll each scoop in granulated sugar, then cover completely in powdered sugar. Place dough balls about two inches apart on lined cookie sheets and bake for 8-9 minutes. Cookies should look soft but feel set on the edges. Let cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire cooling rack. Once cooled, store at room temperature in an airtight container.

REDDING’S HISTORIC

Dhanur Ved Art Gallery

Oneness in Motion: A Study in Integration A TRANSFORMATIVE ART EXHIBITION PRODUCED BY: JEFFERSON LIVE!

This Exhibition brings the Artist(s) and their perspective of the unique journey through transcendent evolution. It is connection to the natural and universal laws of creation. As Nature knows beauty, we also seek to know the beauty of Self.

We begin the journey in Separation to find the world between worlds as the transcendent where all possibilities exist.

We find the Unity of Self where no separation exists.
