Hi, I grew up on these Cookies. They are wonderful and a very old recipe indeed!!!
One difference, variation ( and my preference to try is with the icing . We make ours as a drizzle and using lemon flavor or zest with juice.
Grandmother always said "Coconut needs a little lemon"!
She would cut them in little squares then pour the icing drizzle covering the top! Yum-EE!
Great Food, Great Memories!!!

These cookies were delicious! We made them for a low country boil party and they were a hit. These were prob the easiest cookies I have ever made. You must try them.

First of all, there is no such thing as a dessert being too sweet! That being said, can I give these cookies more than five stars??? They were incredibly delicious!!! They sat in my fridge for two days and I was worried that the graham crackers might get soggy. Not at all. They were a easy to cut and the graham crackers still had a nice crunch to them. I took the suggestion of one of the reviews and sprinkled toasted coconut on top of the frosting (but not in the butter mixture. It added a nice look and flavor. Can't wait to make these cookies again!!
