How to Make Swedish Coconut Cookies

Step-by-Step

Cream together sugar and butter. Add vanilla. Add dry ingredients and beat on low for 3 minutes. Add coconut just until blended.
Divide mixture in half and roll into logs approximately 12" X 2". Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate over night.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice logs into 1/4" slices. Place approximately 2 " apart on the cookie sheet as they will spread. Bake just until the edges are a light tan color. Can be anywhere from 8 - 12 minutes depending on your oven. Enjoy! Sprinkle with colored sugar for a more festive look.
