Coconut-Lime Stars
Makes 20 to 24 3-inch star-shaped cookies
These crunchy, buttery cookies have a refreshing tropical taste from the toasted coconut in the batter and a tart lime frosting. Reeah Parker of Germantown made these for her son in the Marines one summer and they were such a hit, she now makes them year-round, cutting them into holiday shapes.
Adapted from "Reader's Digest Cookies," (McRae Books, 2004).

1/8 teaspoon salt
