Coconut Swirls

Submitted by Chef #906674

"My Aunt Ruth made these cookies for Christmas thirty-five years ago. I was a new bride and I asked for the recipe. I made a double recipe for Christmas and froze them. My husband found them and by Christmas only a few remained. He loves them frozen. I do not know where she got the recipe."
