For a richer flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden before adding it to the dough. If the dough is too sticky to roll, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Consider drizzling the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate for an elegant touch.
