Coconut Cookies

These cookies taste and look almost like store-bought cookies.

½ c butter, softened
1 c sugar (or ½ c brown sugar plus ½ c white sugar)
½ t salt
½ t baking soda
½ t vanilla extract, optional
1 egg
1 ¼ c flour
1 ½ c shredded coconut

Combine ingredients in order given. Form into round loafs, 2-3" in diameter. Chill (or freeze as for icebox cookies). Slice roll. Bake 375° F for 8-10 min.
