- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions

- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour and salt together.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a log.
- Cut the log into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place on the prepared baking sheet.

- Cool cookies briefly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.

- The quality of butter and coconut is important.
- Keep things light and fluffy. Don't overdo the mixing.
