3. add the salt,cornstarch and vanilla exctract.
4. next add the coconut and flour.
5. take beaters out and kneed with your hand until the dough comes together.
6. Because of the coconut this dough is kinda hard to roll out.I suggest rolling the dough into about 24-30 individual balls and pressing down slightly on them with a cup.
7. Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the bottoms turn a very light golden brown.
8. If the cookie is still soft when you poke it ,this is okay it will firm up completely when cooled.
