- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup large unsweetened coconut flakes

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat oven to 425°F, placing racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
In a food processor, combine 3½ cups plus 2 tablespoons cake flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Pulse to combine, 4 to 6 times. Add 1 cup cold unsalted butter (cut up) and 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, 15 to 25 times.
-
Step 3.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and ½ cup heavy cream. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture. Add the remaining egg mixture to the food processor and pulse just until the dough begins to pull away from the side of the bowl, 20 to 30 times.
-
Step 4.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently to bring it together, 4 to 6 times. Pat the dough to ¼ inch thick. Cut out cookies with a 2½-inch cookie cutter, rerolling scraps as needed. Brush one side of each cookie with the reserved egg mixture and sprinkle with raw sugar. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.
-
Step 5.
Bake, rotating the positions of the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets on a cooling rack. Repeat with any remaining dough.
-
Step 6.
Assemble sandwiches: Spread about ½ teaspoon strawberry jam onto the bottom of half the cookies, then top with the remaining cookies.
