This recipe, from
Food52.com senior editor Kristen Miglore, appeared in our
2012 Cookie Advent Calendar. Kristen says: "My family's most persistent holiday cookie recipe is called Coconut Classics or Classies, depending on if you're asking my mother or my aunt. It's the kind of recipe where you can make a bunch of dough logs and freeze them at the beginning of the holiday season, then slice off and bake as needed for last minute guests, cookie exchanges, and hostess gifts."
