Coconut Logs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/2 cup finely shredded or flaked coconut
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except Confectioners' sugar and work to form a stiff dough.
Cut dough into quarters. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a rope about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Cut ropes into 2 inch long pieces. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350F oven until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove cookies to a rack to cool. Store airtight in a cool place. May be frozen. Dust with Confectioners' sugar just before serving. Makes about 30 pieces.
