For a richer flavor, toast the flaked coconut lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat before adding it to the dough. Watch carefully, as it burns easily. If you don't have vegetable shortening, you can substitute softened unsalted butter. Note that this may slightly change the texture of the cookies. These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
