Sugarless Refrigerator Coconut Cookies

These cookies were the second type of sugarless cookies I made for grandma .  These were by far the best of the sugarless cookies, because I love coconut.  Instead of dates, I used chopped apricots and they were tasty.  They still bread-like consistency, so tea, coffee, or hot chocolate are still a must. 

1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. butter
1 egg
1 c. sweetened coconut
1 c. chopped nuts
1 c. chopped dates ( I used chopped apricots)

Cream butter, eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix well. Add dates, coconut and nuts. Roll 2" in waxed paper. Refrigerate 1 to 7 days. Cut about 3/8". Makes 2 1/2 dozen. Bake in 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
