Snow - Cap Chocolate Cookies

This is an all time favorite!!

Cookie Dough
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup fine coconut
1/2 cup sour milk

In medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cocoa. Set aside. In separate medium sized mixing bowl, cream butter or margarine together with the white sugar. Add beaten eggs and vanilla. Beat again. Stir in the coconut, sour milk and flour/cocoa mixture. Mix well with wooden spoon. Let cookie dough rest on counter for 2 hours. Then drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350F about 12 minutes until done. Be careful not to burn the cookies.
Cool till still just barely warm, then top with icing.

Icing
2 cups icing sugar  ( more or less as needed )
3 tablespoons soft butter
6 tablespoons cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Cream butter, then add the icing sugar, cream and vanilla. Mix well. Add more icing sugar if needed or a little more cream if the icing is too stiff. Spread on cookie and dip the cookie in a bit of fine coconut ( or sprinkle the coconut on top of cookie if you prefer to do it that way). Enjoy. These freeze well in air tight container.
