CHOCOLATE COCONUT PEAKS
A must every holiday (or any time in between). I think this came from a MilNot can, but I am only guessing. I like them fine without the chocolate. Time does not include set times.

COCONUT PEAKS
A delightful and easy cookie; recipe is from Denmark. The recipe makes 30 small or 20 large peaks. I strongly recommend that you add the extra step of dipping in chocolate as it gives the cookie that extra dimension and wow factor. I add a bit of butter to the melted chocolate and drip it on top of the peaks. I have updated the recipe measurements thanks to Hokies' hard work - the conversion from metric to cups did not work out, too much of some ingredients, too little of others. The current recipe reflects the accurate measurements after have scaled ingredients and cross checked cup measurements.
