- Melt the butter before adding the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour and mix well again before adding the grated coconut and flavoring of choice.
- Hand roll about 28 little balls individually which you place 2" apart on the lines cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes in the upper half of the oven.

I live in wonderful San Francisco where I currently am looking to break into the feature film production industry. Seemingly easier said than done, I aspire to work alongside my favorite person in the whole wide world once I graduate college in December. Wish me luck!
My favorite cookbook must be my Brazilian grandmother. She's my idol and an eminent (read: reputable) cook.
My passions include my family, dogs, the arts, fashion, and of course food!
Pet peeves include being a morning person and overtly health conscious in my food choices and cooking techniques. But hey, I'm working on it :-)
