This recipe is from the Betty Crocker's Cookie Book. These cookies are incredibly rich and incredibly good. (And they don't have eggs so you can eat the dough!)
Yield: About 8 dozen cookies
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups butter or margarine, softened
1 cup flaked coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sugar
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat 2 cups sugar, the butter, coconut, and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt.
Shape dough by rounded teaspoons into balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press bottom of glass into dough to grease, then dip into sugar; press on shaped dough to flatten slightly. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from cooking sheet to wire rack.
To make Soft No-Rool Sugar Cookies:
Decrease sugar to 1 1/2 cups and butter to 1 1/2 cups. Add 1 egg with the sugar. Subitute 1 teaspoon baking powder for the baking soda. Flatten cookies to 2 inches in diameter. Bake 7-9 minutes or until set (cookies will be pale). Cool 1-2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Store tightly covered.
