Soft Sugar Cookies with a Hint of Coconut

When I set out to create this cookie I wanted a soft coconut sugar cookie. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. I even decided not to share this recipe even with all the compliments I received on them. I froze the left over dough and a week later I pulled it out and made them again. When my husband declared it was his new favorite cookie, I decided to go ahead and publish the recipe. It really is a good cookie just don’t expect a coconut cookie.
