Raspberry Coconut Cookies image

These are very good. My family enjoys them. They are similar to some other kinds of cookies, but I didn't see exactly the same. I think you'll like these. My family likes them for the surprise preserves inside.

1/2 c shortening (i use crisco, butter flavored)
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
