This is a Everyday Food recipe that has been become a favorite of mine. It makes a very tender, not-overly-sweet, subtle coconut-flavored sweet treat. The rolling of the hot cookie in confectioners' sugar gives the cookie a nice little glaze.

I make them several times a year and always include them in my Christmas cookie gifts. Enjoy... See less
