INGREDIENTS

* 3/4 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 cup flaked coconut
* 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* 1 tablespoon shortening

DIRECTIONS

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in coconut. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
2. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. BAke at 300 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool on wire racks.
3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips and shortening. Remove from the heat; dip cookies halfway into chocolate. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until set.
