Direction for Making Macaroni Cookie

4. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.

5. Stir in well, three cups coconut.

6. Cover and chill for 1 hour or til firm enough to handle and roll into balls.

8. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, and roll into the last cup of coconut. You can lightly press it on a little.

9. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

10. Bake 12-15 minutes (MINE TOOK 15! *the original recipe said 10-12 and that was not EVEN long enough, they sank after I took them out and had to re-bake them!)or until lightly browned. I suggest at LEAST 13 minutes, but again, mine took 15.

11. Leave them on the cookie sheet for one minute, then carefully and gently remove them to wire racks to cool.

12. You can gently press a maraschino cherry half in the center of each cookie on top, if desired, before baking.
