My kitchen counter is covered with these crispy crowd-pleasers at Christmastime. I make them for friends and family. I also add them to care packages our church delivers to area senior citizens.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add flour; mix just until combined. Stir in coconut, sesame seeds and almonds. Chill for 15 minutes.
