Coconut Snowdrops
These cookies contain snowy mounds of coconut with an almond accent. They will spread and fall during baking if the dough gets too warm. For the best texture, chill the dough well before forming the cookies and roll only half the dough at a time, keeping the other half in the refrigerator.
