    Beat butter and sugar together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Whisk in egg yolks, one at a time, until well combined, adding lemon zest and vanilla extract with last yolk. Fold into flour mixture with a spoon, mixing until dough holds together and forms a ball.

    Spread flat underside of 1 cookie with 1 teaspoon dulce de leche. Sandwich together with another cookie until filling comes out on the sides; roll sides in shredded coconut. Repeat with remaining cookies, dulce de leche, and coconut.
