Are you tired of sweets? Sick from a sugar-laden holiday? Umm…come back tomorrow.
Today is dedicated to a fabulous little cookie with a sweet crunch.
With a small list of simple ingredients, these cookies are easy to make and perfect to gobble up – just watch out for the inevitable powdered-sugar fingerprints all over your clothes.
Lindsay’s Coconut Cookies
- 1/2 C butter
- 5 T sugar
- 1/2 C oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/4 C flour
- 1/2 C coconut
- powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the butter, sugar, oil, and vanilla together. Add the flour and coconut; mix well. Form the dough into balls (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter). Flatten the cookies with a fork and bake for 18 to 20 minutes – do not brown. Let the cookies cool and then sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
If your cookies turn out a lot less golden brown than mine – don’t worry. I was feeling healthy and replaced half of the regular flour with whole wheat flour. Okay. That’s a lie. I realized half-way through the recipe that I didn’t have enough white flour, and thus the whole wheat. But! They still turned out amazing, and the texture was not changed at all!
I think the whole wheat really does something to counteract all the butter and oil. Yes…
I should probably be making some obvious resolutions right now instead of blogging.
With powdered sugar on my face,
I would ask you to save me one but that didn’t go over so well with K’s bank cookie. So just eat an extra one for me
