- Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack, allow donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, remove the donuts from the pan and cool on the wire rack for about 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat until all the batter is used
- While the donuts are cooling, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and coconut extract for the glaze in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth.
