Instructions
Beat butter, sugar, then beat in eggs: Using an electric mixer, beat the butter.
Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the egg whites a little at a time, beating slowly after each addition. Beat for 5 seconds or until the mixture is smooth.
Sprinkle flour over the mixture and fold it in gently with 1 1/2 cups of the coconut.
Spoon onto baking sheets, sprinkle with coconut: Spoon rounded teaspoons of the mixture 3 inches apart on to baking sheets that have been greased or using Silpat.
With the remaining 1/2 cup coconut, sprinkle a little over the center of each round.
Bake the rounds at 400°F on the middle rack of the oven for 6 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Drape cooling cookies over rolling pins:
Let the cookies stay on the baking sheets for half a minute, or until they are just firm enough to hold their shape. Then drape them over the side of a rolling pin or bottle.
(If the cookies have become too firm to drape, put them in the warm oven for a few minutes to soften.)
Let the cookies cool completely.
