1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 t. vanilla extract
1 t. almond extract
2-1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 c. flaked coconut
Garnish: sugar

Cream butter and sugar; add egg and extracts. In a separate mixing bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt together; gradually blend into egg mixture. Fold in coconut. Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle each cookie with additional sugar; press with the bottom of a sugar-coated glass to flatten slightly. Bake at 325 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes; cool on a wire rack. Makes 3 to 4 dozen.
