1. Melt butter in saucepan. Remove from heat. Add sugar, coconut and
milk. Mix well. Shape rounded teaspoon of mixture into balls. Make a
dent in the center. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
2. Fill center with melted chocolate. Chill until firm. Store in
refrigerator. These freeze wonderfully and look beautiful on a tray.
Winner Shere Case of Hickory Hills describes her cookie entry:
"Holiday preparation usually starts in September and continues until
the night before Christmas. I have been doing this for almost 18
years, and each year I add more recipes. This particular cookie,
passed on to me by my sister- in-law, Diana Forkash of Wisconsin,
ranks among the favorites of the family and friends. It looks
absolutely gorgeous on a plate, tastes wonderful and is absolutely
the easiest thing to make. There is no baking time involved, and you
can sit down on the job and enjoy doing them."

Notes: The coconut tree is a member of the Palm tree family. The origin of these trees is the central Indo-Pacific, between western southeast Asia and Melanesia. The spread of coconuts is tied to the early migrations of the Austronesian peoples who carried coconuts as canoe plants to islands they settled.
In the U.S., coconut palms can be grown and reproduced outdoors without irrigation, in Hawaii and central and southern parts of Florida.
These are so easy!!
