I made these for Easter. They were a big hit. i made some with and without coconut. They were very easy to make. I did use my own sugar cookie recipe because I didn't have the refrigerator type.

I just made these yummy cookies yesterday and had alot of fun doing so. They were easy to make and didn't really take alot of time in doing so. I think the longest part was the actual baking of the cookies. All of that goodness is esp yummy on top of chocolate chip cookies!

I just gave a Tea Party yesterday and served these darling and delicious easter cookies.....they will be a staple on the Easter menu from now on. Everyone just loved them and they gave it a festive feel. For the person who does not like coconut I would suggest using chopped pistachios instead.

What about using shaved white chocolate instead of coconut?
