Dunking Platter Cookies



My Auntie Joy makes these cookies and sends them down with her sister (my other Auntie) whenever she comes down to visit. They are my absolute favorite non chocolate chip cookie cookie. They're crispy and thin, filled with toasted coconut and tiny little currants. This recipes makes like a thousand cookies, so cut it in half-or freeze the dough and save it for another day. They are truly delicious!
