  7. Place cookie dough in fridge for one hour. 
  8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  9. Once dough has been chilled for an hour, remove from fridge and scoop 1 1/2-inch dough balls.
  10. Roll in hand to create ball and then roll through remaining 4 cups of coconut. 
  11. Place on a cookie sheet, about 12 per cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 14-15 minutes, or until set and light brown.

Notes

  • * As a tip, keep dough in fridge in between batches of cookies, I found it was easier to roll the dough into balls when the dough was cold from fridge.
