Sesame Coconut Cookies Recipe

	Gardener61 / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago I made these for gifts last Christmas. Some I left plain some I drizzled white & dark chocolate. They were delicious! It makes a lot of cookies, but you can make the logs & freeze some to bake later. I know it keeps well for at least a month & a half in the freezer.... More Prep:30m Cook:25m Servings:60	Gardener61

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups coconut (you can use any type they all work , it just depends on how sweet your tastebuds are!)

In mixing bowl, cream butter & sugar then beat in vanilla.

Combine flour & salt then gradually add to creamed mixture.

Stir in coconut,sesame seeds & almonds.

Split dough into 3 pieces. shape each piece into 10" logs

Wrap in plastic & refridgerate at least 2 hours to firm

Unwrap dough cut into 1/4" slices & place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. ( I used parchment paper)

Bake @ 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes till lightly browned.

Cool 2 minutes before removing to rack.

These are a very light , crispy, buttery cookie & with the addition of sesame seeds.................................oh what more can I say but give me another cup of coffee or tea either go great with them, or how about hot chocolate. (sigh) : )

What kind of coconut do you use? Sweetened or unsweetened? Flake? Shredded?

Can you cut the recipe in 1/2? I don't see why not but ya never know! There are only 3 of us so 60 cookies (even over the course of 2months) is wayyyy too many! :D
