1/2 cup Unsalted butter -- room temp
3/4 cup Firmly packed brown sugar
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup Plus 2 tb sweetened shredded -- coconut
2 1/4 cups All purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt

Recipe
Using electric mixer, cream butter and sugar in large bowl to blend. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in coconut. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture. Mix in pecans. Cover and refrigerate dough 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment.
Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 2-inch-wide log. Transfer logs to prepared cookie sheet, spacing evenly. Bake until logs are golden brown, firm to touch and tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool logs about 20 minutes on cookie sheet. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Transfer logs to work surface.
Discard parchment. Cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange cookies flat sides down on unlined cookie sheets.
Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool completely.
(Can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Store at room temperature in airtight container.)
