Imperial Sugar Insight

**This dough tends to become soft very quickly during rolling. Place 2 cookie sheets filled with ice cubes on the area where you will be rolling dough. This will keep dough longer cool and make it easier to work.

Time saver: In well stocked grocery stores, find unsweetened coconut in bulk. It will be smaller than grains of rice and you will not have to chop or grind it yourself.
