Coconut shortbread

I've not made coconut shortbread for a long time. On my best friend's birthday, her favorite coconut comes to mind. And it's such an incredible "coincidence" that when I just finished the shortbread and was getting ready to package it to send out, my friend called to ask me what I was doing! I was caught right then and there. What else? To give her a birthday surprise.
