Hawaiian Fresh Coconut Cookies

In a small bowl whisk together the flour and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy; add flour mixture and blend well. Stir in coconut. Cover and chill for 2 hours. Shape dough into two 6-inch rolls. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap or wax paper and chill for another 8 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175°C). Unwrap rolls and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
