Easy Coconut Cookies

Kim Hannon gave me this recipe. She drizzles hers with chocolate syrup and caramel syrup. They taste a lot like those girl scout cookies-they used to be called Samoas, I think they're carmel delights.

1 package sugar cookies
Add ingredients according to package(usually a stick of butter and eggs)
1 tsp coconut oil
1 cup coconut

Combine all ingredients. Roll into balls, you can then roll in more coconut if you'd like. Bake according to package directions.

(Seriously, it is this easy and simple and SO good)
