Coconut Butter Cookies (Vegan or Not)

Submitted by Lisa Clarice

"This recipe can be made vegan or not. It came from my high school boyfriend's grandmother (about 25 years ago!) They are really simple, extremely quick, and very good. I don't even like coconut that much, but I love these cookies. These are good cookies to bring to a dinner party or holiday party. Enjoy!"

To dry, had trouble forming balls. Also to bland. But I agree with other reviewer, did not come out that great. Thought it might taste really good mixed in some vanilla icing on a cake or something however.

My husband likes coconut and I am a vegan, so I was looking for a recipe that we could both enjoy. This recipe tasted like is was missing something and it didnt come out that great unfortunately.
