Ingredients

1 cup refrigerated Holiday Cookie Dough
3/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Additional miniature semisweet chocolate chips, optional

Directions

Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. In a large bowl, combine the dough, coconut, cracker crumbs, chocolate chips and milk. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. star-shaped cookie cutter.
Place 1 in. apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
If frosting is desired, melt additional chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Frost cooled cookies. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
