As of today ( feburary 21st ) schools in atlanta are said to be pushing towards installing panic buttons in the school beause of the sandy hook deaths this will lead to a more efficient way of hwlping kids get ahold of 911 without actually calling 911. The button directly reports to the officers around where the incident is occuring and helps them in a faster way then calling and waiting for an opperater and then waiting for officers to arrive. It hasnt been put into play yet but soon will be.

Ingredients

For the cookies:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon red food coloring

For the filling:

• 3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in 2 additions. Add the food coloring and beat until combined. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead a few times. Roll into a 10-inch-long, 1-inch-diameter log; wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
Meanwhile, make the filling: Pulse the coconut, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, salt and vanilla in a food processor until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the freezer and unwrap. Slice the dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and arrange about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are firm around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Spread about 1 teaspoon of the filling on the flat side of half of the cookies, then sandwich with the remaining cookies.
Cook's Note: If the dough feels dry after you beat in the food coloring, beat in up to 2 more tablespoons softened butter until the dough stays together when pinched and is kneadable
