Nutella Coconut Filled Cookie Recipe

Just when you think you got all the cookies made for the holiday you remember another you love and forgot to make. Well this is one I made last year and skipped over by accident until last night. I was looking through my photos and saw my favorite cookie sitting on the tray last year and forgot to make these. I immediately got to them!
