Pre heat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add 1 Tbsp of coconut flakes into a ziplock baggie. Drop the yellow food colori in the center of the bag. Shake the bag until the coconut flakes are fully coated in color. Remove the flakes from the ziplock and evenly lay them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in one even pile.
Repeat the steps above to create the red and blue sprinkles.
Keep each color in an individual pile.
Toast the coconut shreds for 3 minutes in the oven at 350F. This will amplify the nutty taste as well as dry out the dye colors and prevent them from cross-contamination.
Keep your eye on the coconut shreds they toast fast. Remove the flakes from the cookie sheet immediately after they're out of the oven.
Mix colored flakes and set aside.
The Cookies
Pre heat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients except butter into a food processor and blend until mixture is fine, powdery and incorporated. The mozzarella shreds should now blend in with the rest of the ingredients.
Cut the cold butter into 4 smaller pieces and pop it right into the food processor. Process the mixture until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture clumps together and turns into a dough.
Portion dough and place it on a baking sheet using a cookie scooper.
Place the cookie dough in the freezer for 30 minutes. This will result in a thicker and chewier cookie.
Pop the cookies in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Check for the cookies to be completely melted and a little brown around the edges, that's how you'll know the cookies are ready,
Let cookies cool to room temperature before frosting
The Frosting
Start beating room temperature butter in a hand or stand mixer.
Add sweetener and milk alternating in 4 portions.
Beat the butter mixture until it gets light and airy. This can take some time so don't get discouraged, just keep beating.
Once you've reached a frosting consistency add vanilla extract, salt and food coloring. The food coloring is optional, I used 4 drops of red food coloring to achieve a pink frosting.
Use a butter knife to spread the frosting on to the cookies then finish the design off with a hand full of sprinkles.
