      Title: Jeweled Coconut Drops
 Categories: Cookies, Cheese, Citrus, Fruits
      Yield: 42 servings
 
    1/3 c  Butter; softened
      3 oz Cream cheese; softened
    3/4 c  Sugar
      1 lg Egg yolk; room temp
      2 ts Orange juice
      1 ts Almond extract
  1 1/4 c  A-P flour
  1 1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
  3 3/4 c  Sweetened shredded coconut;
           - divided
      1 c  Seedless raspberry
           - preserves; warmed
 
  Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and
  fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, orange juice and
  almond extract. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking
  powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
  Stir in 3 cups coconut. Refrigerate until easy to
  handle, about 30 minutes.
  
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Shape rounded tablespoons of dough into balls; roll in
  remaining coconut. Place 2" apart on ungreased baking
  sheets. Press a deep indentation in the center of each
  with the end of a wooden spoon handle. Bake until edges
  are light brown, 8-10 minutes. Cool 1 minute. Using the
  wooden spoon, enlarge any indentations that may have
  narrowed or closed. Remove cookies from pans to wire
  racks. Fill with preserves; cool completely.
