Recipe - Chocolate Coconut Pinwheels

1 Stick butter; softened
1 cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 cup Cake flour
One half teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Salt
2 ounce Unsweetened baking chocolate
squares, melted
Three fourths cup Coconut flakes

In medium bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium
speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add cake flour mixed
with baking soda and salt and beat until well blended. Divide dough in half
between 2 bowls. Blend melted chocolate into dough in one bowl; stir
coconut into dough in other bowl. Cover each bowl with plastic wrap and
refrigerate at least 1 hour, or until firm. Gather chocolate dough into a
ball; place between pieces of wax paper and roll out into an 8 x 12inch
rectangle. Repeat with coconut dough. Place one rectangle on top of the
other and roll up from a long side into a 12inch roll. Wrap in wax paper
and refrigerate about 30 minutes, or until firm. Preheat oven to 350
degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 1/4inch slices. Place about 3
inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until
lightly browned. Let cookies cool on 2 minutes, then remove to a rack and
let cool completely.
