I have not tried this recipe. The recipe came from a old Maxwell House label.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
2 cups unsifted swans down cake flour
1 cup baker's angel flake coconut
3/4 cup ground almonds (optional)
jam or preserves
Directions:
1. Cream butter with salt. Gradually beat in sugar. Blend in almond extract. Add flour, a small amount at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in coconut and almonds.
2. Chill dough.
3. Shape into walnut size balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 325 for 8 minutes.
4. Remove from oven; make depression in center of each ball with thumb or measuring spoon. Return to oven; bake 12-15 minutes longer, or just until lightly browned.
5. Cool on sheets; fill each cookie with 1 teaspoon jam. Sprinkle with additional coconut, if desired.
