It's my son's birthday this week and since he lives in another state and I can't bake him a cake, I'm baking and sending cookies! These cookies are wonderful if you like coconut. They are thin, crisp and perfect for teatime as well. I have not sent them off in the mail before but I will wrap them well and hope they make it to him and his family in perfect shape. If not, they will make perfect crumbles for ice cream topping! Speaking of ice cream, these cookies are perfect for making homemade ice cream sandwiches. Just put your favorite ice cream between them, individually wrap and freeze!! Don't be surprised if after you make these once, you get many more requests.
Here is my recipe...
Coconut Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup margarine (I use I can't believe it's not butter)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup coconut
1 cup flour
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
In a large bowl beat together the margarine, sugar, brown sugar and egg. Add the remaining ingredients. Form into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press down with a floured fork and bake in a 350 degree oven 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
This recipe makes 3-4 dozen small cookies or 2 dozen large.
