Coconut Cones

A family Christmas favorite.  These are a no bake, easy to make cookie.

1/4 cup butter
2.5 cups sifted icing sugar
1 bag (normal sized) unsweetened desiccated coconut
1 can sweetened evaporated milk

3 squares (ozs) unsweetened chocolate
2 squares semi-sweet
paraffin wax for shine (optional)

1. prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with a sheet of waxed paper.
2. Combine the butter, coconut and sugar.
3. With clean hands mix in slowly about 1/3 of the can of milk, until the mixture holds together nicely. 
4. Shape into small cones and stand on the cookie sheet.
5. Put the the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours, to harden
6. After removing from the fridge melt the chocolate and optional wax. Dip the bottoms of the cones in the wax and place back on the wax paper.
7. Return to the fridge.  When the chocolate has fully hardened it will easily come off of the waxed paper.
8. Can be stored in a cool place for several weeks and the in freezer longer.

Yum!
