"I found this recipe in a taste of home magazine. You can use food coloring to color up the coconut on the outside of the cookie. Just mix about 25 drops of food coloring wit the 2 cups of the coconut in a large plastic bad and shake the bag until coconut is tinted."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; gradually beat in flour.

Step 2

Stir in 1 cup of the coconut.

Step 3

Divide dough in half; shape into 7 inch logs.

Step 4

Roll the logs into the coconut; wrap separately in plastic wrap.

Step 5

Stand the wrapped logs in a tall glass; refrigerate for 2 hours. (This will keep the dough from getting a flat bottom, thus a nice round cookie)

Step 6

Cut log crosswise into 1/4 inch slices; place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. (I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper and the cookies cooked out perfectly)

Step 7

Bake in a preheated 325 degree Fahrenheit oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until bottoms are a light brown.

Step 8

Remove from baking sheet to wire racks to cool.

These are really, really tasty! I made the logs about 10 inches, and got approximately 42 cookies. A lot of the coconut fell off the outsides when I unwrapped them, and more when they were baking, but there was plenty of coconut flavour anyway. They're certainly easy to make, and took almost no time, which I love. Thank you for sharing!
