Chocolate-covered gooey coconut on a brown sugar shortbread crust. I didn't need to read any further to know that I may not be sharing this once they're made. I also love the loaf of Calvin. I'm in the process of completing the paperwork to adopt a rescue cat. My holiday present to myself.

I finally made these and they are delightful! The recipe was much simpler than I anticipated (the words “food processor” always make me hesitate) and I’m thrilled to now know a little something about making shortbread. My husband said this morning that they are even better a day later, so of course I had to try for myself, and I agree! I took these to a birthday brunch and it was the perfect little sweet treat for Breakfast Dessert. (With coffee of course!)

I have a kitchen with virtually no countertop, so I barely make cereal. But I share your recipes with my baking friends, and these sound like perfection. And Calvin loaf’s Döppelganger lives here with me; he’s an Oliver.

Would I be able to make the shortbread gluten free? I usually use Bob's Red Mill 1-1 Flour.

I love the photos of Calvin and Clyde. My Lubeck is an excellent babka himself. I wonder what I could use instead of coconut? It is one of the things that I would never put in a cookie. When I was little, my mom had a Baker's Coconut cookbook for decorating kid's birthday cakes. She always used it to make mine, but left out the coconut (she was a champ).
