Loaded Coconut Pecan Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup butter (i use real butter, but i'm sure it would work fine with margarine- might not be QUITE as tasty, thou)
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 egg
    1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1 1/4 cups pecans
    1 3/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
    1 teaspoon baking soda

    Cream butter and sugar together in large bowl. Mix in egg and vanilla.
    Mix in 1 cup coconut, saving the other 3/4 cup for later use.
    Combine flour, pecans, and baking soda in small bowl. Mix into coconut mixture.
    Once well mixed, sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup coconut on work surface.
    Divide dough into 3 parts and form into rolls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
    Roll dough in coconut until coated.
    Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 1 hour. (dough can be frozen up to 6 weeks).
    Cut rolls into 1/4 inch thick slices and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
    Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes. My oven takes 15.
    Cool and enjoy!
