To toast coconut: Put coconut on a cookie, spread out completely, broil coconut, stirring very frequently, to a light golden brown. BE AWARE though, coconut will burn in an instant, so you must watch it constanlty, it does not take long to brown. Also watch your eyes when opening the oven, the fumes from the coconut will sting them :)
