Peppermint Chocolate Coconut Cookies

3/4th Cup Softened Butter
2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Egg
1 1/2 Cup Flour
1/2 Tsp Peppermint Extract
1/2 Cup Sweetened Coconut
1/2 Cup Melted Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1. Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, peppermint and vanilla extract and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together salt, flour and baking powder. Gradually add flour in small additions into butter mixture. You may have to use your hands after a while in order to get a uniform dough!
3. Chill dough in fridge for 30 minutes.
4. On a well floured surface, roll out chilled dough into 1/2 inch thickness and cut out into any shapes. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 9-12 minutes. Watch them carefully, every oven varies!
5. Once the cookies are out of the oven, cool on a baking rack for at least 10 minutes. Decorate with coconut and melted chocolate! Feel free to decorate with any other ingredients, candy canes perhaps!
