Cream together Butter and Sugar. (that means mix together with a mixer, thoroughly)

Then add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly

Then add Sifted Flour and Salt and mix in with butter mixture. Use a spoon or even you hands for this part.

Beat Egg for Coconut Coating in a bowl then put 1 Cup Coconut in another bowl

Make 1 inch Balls with Dough. (this is a great thing for the kids to do) Dip into egg and then roll in Coconut.. you could have an assembly line!

Now put an indent into the center of Cookie. If your doing this with the kids have them stick there little thumb into the middle..it’s a perfect size.

Then Fill with Lemon Filling

Timing is important in this next step…

Bake Cookies in 350 degree oven for 12 minutes.

While these are cooking make the Meringue

Beat together 3 Egg Whites along with the Cream of Tarter and Sugar

Beat until a Stiff Peak Forms

Now remove cookies from the oven and put a small Dollop of Meringue on each cookie (don’t get into perfection here) ..then put back in oven for 8 min. Watch cookies carefully to make sure Meringue doesn’t burn. That’s it!
