Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp vanilla extract
2-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 package (11 oz) kraft caramel bits
2 tbsp water
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Directions:

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Divide dough in half. Shape each into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Roll one portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut with a floured 3-in. star-shaped cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Melt caramel bits and water in a microwave; stir until smooth. Working with a few cookies at a time, spread caramel over cookies and immediately sprinkle with coconut. Let stand until set. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
