These cookies would certainly be a nice addition to a winter holiday cookie tray, & the coconut jacks them up to a level above being just another sugar cookie! Very nice tasting, according to my sweet tooth & that of the neighbors!

Living in view of the Wind River Mountain Range and loving it! My daughter is in the seventh grade. My husband works for himself in a home repair/handyman business. I am Activity Director at a senior center. I have cooked in lots of different situations. I began cooking for my family when I was in ninth grade. I cooked at the employee kitchen in Yellowstone National Park, at a summer camp for 120 campers, and even up to 8 hungry hunters in a backcountry hunting camp - no running water! I love to try new recipes on people. I don't often make the same recipes over and over. Short attention span, I guess. :-)
