Need a quick dessert for a barbecue, block party or summer family gathering? Your go-to does not need to be chocolate.
This recipe produces a very sweet butter pecan and coconut cookie that requires five ingredients and can be whipped up in minutes. They're a good match with a tall glass of chilled milk or lemonade. Better yet, serve them with a generous scoop of French vanilla ice cream for a simple and slightly more elegant dessert.
