Untested by me, posted for zwt iii. From allrecipes.com update: culinaryqueen was the guinea pig on these and has added various notes and changes. please note, although the title of these are 'buns' they spread out like a very flat cookie.

Steps

---

Preheat the oven to 350f / 180c.

---

In a large bowl , stir together the flour , sugar , baking powder , and salt.

---

Add butter , and cut in using a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

---

In a separate bowl , whisk together the eggs , milk , vanilla extract , and almond extract.

---

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients , and pour in the wet ingredients.

---

Add coconut , and mix just enough to blend.

---

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets , 2-3 inches apart as they really spread.

---

Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven , or until golden brown.

---

Keep an eye on these as they will burn if left in too long.

---

Transfer to a cooking rack immediately or else they will stick to the pan.

---

Cookies are soft with crunch edges at first but get completely crunchy upon cooling.
