For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut lightly before adding it to the dough. The type of cornmeal you use will affect the texture of the cookies. Finely-ground cornmeal is recommended for a smoother result. These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
