Coconut Cookies

List of Ingredients




Coconut Cookies
"I remember my mother and grandmother baking Coconut Cookies at Christmas. They would store them in tin cans. A few years ago I took my mother to visit one of her first cousins, who was in her late 80s, at Christmas time. She offered us cookies, and I was so excited when she had Coconut Cookies. I had asked my mother for the recipe, but she had not been able to locate it. Her cousin had the recipe I want to share."

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon water

Mix butter and sugar, add eggs, add flour, baking powder, then add coco-nut, vanilla and water. Bake 14 minutes at 350 degrees. They will not brown. Enjoy! Her instructions read ­ "Try a cookie for a sample. If too thin the coconut could burn. Add more flour if too thin."
