1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coconut extract
Non-pareils, coarse sugar, or chopped nuts (optional)
In a stand mixer, beat the room temperature butter, sugar and extracts until the mixture is light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on high).

Add the flour, half a cup at a time, beating well between each addition.

Roll the dough a log and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then chill until very firm or up to three days.

After "logs" are very firm, roll them in sprinkles or nuts (optional) and slice into 1/4 inch slices. Bake on ungreased baking sheet in a 350 degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes Cool on baking rack.

Makes about 24 cookies. Recipe can be doubled.
