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.
Ingredients:
2 cups butter,softened (no substitutes!)
1-1/2 cups sugar
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!)
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
Directions:
1. In mixing bowl, cream butter & sugar then beat in vanilla.
2. Combine flour & salt then gradually add to creamed mixture.
3. Stir in coconut,sesame seeds & almonds.
4. Split dough into 3 pieces. shape each piece into 10 logs
5. Wrap in plastic & refridgerate at least 2 hours to firm
6. Unwrap dough cut into 1/4 slices & place 1 apart on ungreased cookie sheets. ( I used parchment paper)
7. Bake 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes till lightly browned.
8. Cool 2 minutes before removing to rack.
9. 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) : )
