Sweetheart Coconut Cookies cont.

coconut is coarsely chopped. In a large bowl, cut butter into flour
until crumbly. Stir in coconut mixture. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness.
Cut with a 2-1/2-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour.
Using a 1-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the center of half
of the cookies. Reroll small cutouts if desired. Place solid and
cutout cookies 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375°
for 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire
racks. In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, water and
vanilla; brush over warm cookies with cutout centers. Immediately
sprinkle with colored sugar if desired. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of jam
over the bottom of each solid cookie; place cookies with cutout
centers over jam.
