(*.cc) Coconut Islands? :?:
How nice! But it is not on the list of the U.N. official Nation List...
However, while searching for those hypothetic islands on the internet, I came across something more interesting for sustaining the will and power of developers:

Coconut Islands Cookies
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 squares chocolate
1/4 cup hot strong coffee
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
2/3 cup dairy sour cream
1 cup finely cut coconut
Preheat oven to 375 deg. F. Sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Melt chocolate squares in coffee in small saucepan over low heat. If desired 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee and 1/4 cup boiling water may be substituted. Cool. Cream shortening; gradually add brown sugar, creaming well. Add egg, unbeaten, and the cooled chocolate mixture. Beat well. Add sour cream alternately with dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Mix well until blended. Stir in 1/3 cup coconut. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto greased baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Frost while warm. Sprinkle tops with additional 2/3 cup coconut. Store in tightly covered container.
Coconut Island Frosting
1-1/2 squares chocolate
1/4 cup dairy sour cream
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 to 2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
Heat chocolate squares, sour cream and butter in top of double boiler over hot water, stirring until chocolate melts. Remove immediately from heat. Gradually blend in confectioner's sugar, until consistency to spread. Thin with water or cream, a few drops at a time, if necessary.
I know... this is really OFF topics... :oops:
