Coconut Cookies

Over the years, I have come to make lots of cookies at Christmas time. Here is one that everyone enjoys.

Coconut Cookies

½ cup butter or margarine
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 egg, unbeaten
1 cup sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups coconut
2 cups corn flakes
2 teaspoons vanilla

Cream butter or margarine; add sugars and mix well. Add egg.

Add sifted flour, baking powder, soda and salt, mixing well.

Stir in coconut and corn flakes, then vanilla.

 Drop mixture from a teaspoon onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Note: if desired the coconut and corn flakes may be toasted, then slightly crushed before adding to other ingredients.

Enjoy!
