Coconut Cookies and a Chirpy Boarder at Herrin Home
Mrs. Paul McMurray of Herrin shares a German coconut cookie recipe from Mrs. Arthur Weints of Mulkeytown. The cookies use baker’s ammonia and coconut, rolled thin and baked 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. The tale notes her 40 years making them, a love of crafting and crafts, and a peculiar boarder, a mynah bird named Charlie, who whistles Happy Birthday and other tunes.
