Who says Christmas cookies always have to taste of cinnamon and cloves? These exotic ginger shortbread cookies filled with homemade coconut pumpkin jam have been a family favorite ever since I first made them.<\/p>\n

They started out as an experiment. Meaning I wanted to create an exotic twist on my all-time-favorite Linzer Cookies ,<\/a>which a lot of you guys have gone crazy about for the last couple of Christmases.<\/p>\n

My granny would probably turn up her nose on this “crazy” bastard of a Linzer cookie but my hubby and all of my friends have given them their blessing!<\/p>\n

I especially love the combination of a slightly spicy ginger cookie, sweet and nutty coconut pumpkin jam and zesty lime icing! Not particularly Christmas-y but 100 % delicious!<\/p>\n

How to make Coconut Ginger Shortbread Cookies with Pumpkin Jam:<\/h3>\n

The base is a buttery ginger shortbread for which I use a simple all-in dough. Let the dough rest in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 2 days.<\/p>\n

Then we roll out the dough and bake the ginger shortbread cookies for about 8 minutes. They should be set but not brown.<\/p>\n

Our cookie filling is a homemade bright orange jam made from Kabocha squash, coconut milk, ginger and shredded coconut.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

The recipe for the jam makes 2 small jars, so more than you need. But hey, would a jar of coconut pumpkin jam not make the perfect homemade Christmas gift? Along with a tin of these coconut ginger sandwich cookies?<\/p>\n

Shredded coconut serves as an additional thickener for the pumpkin jam. I like to blitz the shredded coconut in my food processor to make it a bit finer.<\/p>\n
