2 . Beat butter in large bowl until creamy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla.

3 . Add flour mixture alternately with cream mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in coconut; spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling about half full.

Cut 1 rounded piece to look like the top of the hat and 1 straigth piece to look like the brim of the hat as shown in the photo.
