Coconut Cookies (crispy)
rec.food.cooking/Lynn Majidimehr (1990)

Here is my Great-grandmother's recipe, hope you like it.

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup ground coconut (chop well in blender or food processor)
2 tsp. baking powder
4 cups flour (unsifted)
2 large eggs (or 3 small)

Mix all ingredients together. If too stiff add another egg (it does need to be stiff enough to roll out after chilling).

Chill dough in freezer or refrigerator.

Roll thin (about 1/8 inch), cut out cookies.

Bake at 400 degrees 5-7 minutes.
