Do you love coconut?

Do you think the only thing better than coconut is the sinfully delicious combination of coconut and chocolate?

Then please read on.

Coconut Haystack Cookie

With just five ingredients, including the chocolate for dipping, these cookies are easy and foolproof. Yet, they look pretty enough to share. Share? Well, it is the season for giving, right?

And unlike most holiday cookies, these will keep in the fridge for up to a month without becoming stale, posing a threat to even the most well-intentioned 2010 diet resolution.

Enjoy!
