Method

Preheat oven to 325°F.  Grease or line 2 cookie sheets. 

Stir together in a large bowl until combined all ingredients except for coconut.  When well combined, stir in until blended the coconut.

Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets.  Bake, 1 sheet at a  time, until golden brown, 20 to 24 minutes.  Let stand briefly, then remove to a rack to cool.

Yield: About thirty-six 1 1/2 inch cookies.
