Easy Coconut Cookie Recipe ~~~ YUMMY!

Hey Y’all!

I tried this recipe yesterday to make a special treat for Papa and they came out simply delightful! Give them a ripple. I’m pretty sure they got two thumbs up from Papa as well!

• 1/2 cup  butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cups unsifted flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cream butter until fluffy. Add sugars gradually, beating well after each addition. Add egg  and mix. Combine flour, soda and salt; then add to butter mixture, 1/4 at a time. Add vanilla and coconut. Drop by teaspoonful on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 9 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Cool and store.

For those of you without an oven, here is a no-bake recipe 😉

• 1/2 cup butter
   
• 1/2 cup milk
   
• 2 cups sugar
   
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats
   
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
   
• 1/2 cup coconut
  

In a large saucepan, combine butter, milk and sugar; bring to a rolling
boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue boiling for 1
minute. Remove from heat; stir in oats, cocoa, and coconut. Drop by
tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper.
Makes about 36 yummy no-bake cookies.
