Fork Cookies (sugar cookies)

There is an old fashioned tradition in Sweden which says that you should have seven different kinds of cookies to offer when someone comes for coffee.  So, I'm working on it!  Fork cookies are a simple classic, my wife says they are called sugar cookies in the U.S.

200g butter

4 tablesppons sugar

1.5 shredded coconut

3 dl wheat flour

Dice room temperature butter into small cubes.  Place into bowl and work in sugar, add coconut and then flour whilst stirring till dough is smooth.  Roll into small balls.  Put onto cookie sheet, then flatten with fork.  Bake in oven at 200C for about 10 minutes, until golden brown.  Done!
