GRANDMA MABEL'S COCONUT WASHBOARD COOKIES
An old recipe that has been modernized. Recipe is from when I was a little girl working in the kitchen beside my wonderful, loving grandmother Mabel Kennedy Sullivan.

Steps:
- 1. Mix together well the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
- 2. In a very large bowl: Use an electric mixer on medium high speed to cream together the next 3 ingredients. Add the eggs and mix well.
- 3. Add the vanilla to the coconut milk. Stir in alternating the flour mixture and the coconut milk mixture. Stir in the coconut.
- 4. Make "logs" of dough in desired shape (round or rectangle). Wrap in wax paper and put in refrigerator for 3 hours.
- 5. preheat oven to 375 degrees
- 6. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough logs across to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick cookies. Place each cookie on parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Use the tines of a fork that has been dipped in flour to make "lines" in the cookie. When tray is full, bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on wire racks before storing in an airtight container.
- 7. *** Another method of forming the cookies is pinching off about a Tablespoon of dough, form it into a little log, flatten the log with tines of a fork. **** Another method is to not refrigerate the dough, and use a cookie press. The disk has a long slit that is flat on one side and bumpy on the other side of the slit... the bumpy side points up. *********** depending on the coconut milk you use... you may want to use a bit less or add a bit more flour.
