LEMON COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
• Juice and zest lemons then set aside in separate bowls
• In a large mixing bowl place butter and sugar together and let butter soften then cream both ingredients together until nice and smooth
• Add lemon juice and zest slowly to creamed mixture and stir until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the butter (there will be remaining juice not absorbed)
• Mix coconut in with creamed mixture until coconut is all mixed in with butter and sugar.
• Add dry ingredients slowly to the mixture and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed and cookie dough can be dropped by a spoon on a cookie sheet.
• Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes depending on doneness and then remove from oven and wait for 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool completely.
