Coconut Meltaways

If you’re a coconut fiend like I am, Coconut Meltaways will knock your socks off! These Sugar Cookies filled with coconut and vanilla chips simply dissolve in your mouth. Every bite causes me to swoon over these heavenly cookies. They are easy to whip up and terrific for tailgating parties or potlucks since each batch makes over 5 dozen! I included vanilla chips in mine which added extra sugar and decadence! Yes, they cookies are marvelous.

I made some Coconut Chocolate Chip Meltaways and really enjoyed the way they turned out. So I made this one with vanilla chips and liked these as well. The texture of these cookies is just about perfect! We sure enjoyed them. I shared them with two families at our church who I was making a meal for. Yes, these cookies were A+!

I offered to bring a meal for some friends from church. Cathy had fallen badly while on vacation and had a very bad concussion. Her vision was affected, along with headaches and other difficulties. I made up a real southern-style meal for them which included BBQ Pork, Deviled Eggs, Homemade Rolls, Corn Pudding, Pear Salad with Glazed Walnuts, Scalloped Potatoes and Ham and these luscious cookies. They loved EVERYTHING! And were so thankful to have some food for a few days that they didn’t have to cook.

Coconut Meltaways are an excellent choice for tailgating parties, potlucks, holiday baking or as snacks to bring to soccer or baseball practices. These pack up nicely and they also freeze extremely well if you want to make them in advance for any kind of party. If you enjoy coconut, you’ll treasure these jewels.

    I’m confused as well! Is it one cup or one stick (1/2 cup per stick)? Thanks for the clarification. The cookies sound wonderful.

      Hi Mary. You are both right! It should be two sticks or one cup. I’ve corrected the recipe. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. They are wonderful! Hope you enjoy them.

    these look wonderful – I’m a little confused – it says 1 cup butter (1 stick) but isn’t 1 stick 1/2 cup?

      I am so very sorry, Gay. You’re correct, one cup = two sticks (in U.S.) I’ve corrected the recipe. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention.
