Recipe Introduction
In the early 70's the Post had a Christmas cookie section that included this recipe. I don't like coconut, but thought that I'd make these for my family. Well, you don't taste the coconut, but it makes these cookies crisp and chewy at the same time. It also makes them one of my favorite Christmas treats.
