Hint of Coconut Cookies

I want to share this recipe because even my

non-coconut eaters raved about these cookies!

I think the reason is because they are not

overly coconutty. 

Is that a word?  You know what I mean. 

It may seem like alot of coconut in this recipe

but the flavor is pleasantly mild and the texture

is just the right amount of chewy.

Here's the recipe:

1 1/4c.  all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. real butter

1/2c. packed brown sugar

1/2 c. white sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/3 c. flaked coconut

 

1.Preheat oven to 350*

 

2.  Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

3  .In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar,

and white sugar until smooth.

4.  Beat in the egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.

5.  Gradually blend in the flour mixture, then mix

in the coconut.

6.  Roll into 1" balls and place on parchment paper 

lined cookie sheet. Cookies should be about 3" apart.

7.  Chill in refrigerator for about 30 min.

8.  Bake for approximately 12 min. or until lightly toasted.

9.  Cool on wire racks.

My most adamant coconut hater kept trying to

sneak cookies while I was making dinner.  :)
