We make these at Christmas in mimicry of the cookies in a Festus and Mercury story about Christmas. (Festus and Mercury are characters in children's books by the Swedish author Sven Nordqvist, although some translations keep their Swedish names, Pettson and Findus.)
The recipe is adapted from one for "coconut rounds" in a back issue of Good Housekeeping.
2 c AP flour
1 c butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
2 t vanilla extract
1/2 t salt
2 T milk
desiccated coconut; colorful nonpareils
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix dries and wets separately and combine. Use a 100 or 70 scoop to shape into 3/4 inch balls. Roll the balls in desiccated coconut or colorful nonpareils. Place 2" apart on cookie sheet and bake ~15 minutes, until golden. Cool.
