Lemon Doodles

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup coconut flakes

1 cup butter -- softened

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon lemon peel -- grated

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixer bowl, combine all ingredients. Beat at low speed, scraping the bowl often, for 2 to 4 minutes until well mixed. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the pans immediately.
