Another Air Force recipe from many years ago. These cookies are good with a sweet surprise of coconut in them (easily omitted if you don't like coconut).

1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup sugar (for rolling)
Directions:
1. Cream the first six ingredients together thoroughly.
2. Sift the three dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture.
3. Blend in the coconut, if desired.
4. Shape into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar.
5. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Flatten with a fork.
7. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
8. Cool slightly, remove from pan.
