Coconut Slice & Bake Cookies

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.
