1/2 c. butter flavor Crisco
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg, separated
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. unsifted all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2/3 c. flaked coconut
1/4 c. thick preserves, jam or jelly

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease baking sheets. Cream butter flavor Crisco with sugar, egg yolk and vanilla in large bowl at medium speed of electric mixer. Combine flour with salt and baking powder. Add to creamed mixture. Blend well. Form into balls about 1" in diameter. Beat egg white until slightly frothy. Dip dough balls into egg white, then roll in coconut. Place on greased baking sheets. Make shallow depression in center of each cookie, using thumb or back of very small spoon. Place 1/2 measuring teaspoon preserves in each center.

Bake at 375 degrees for 8 or 9 minutes, or until coconut begins to brown. Cool on baking sheets about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to cooling racks. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
