1 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla (or 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp. coconut flavor)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
2 c. flour
1 c. coconut
sugar and water for dipping
Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. Mix in dry ingredients, including coconut. Roll dough into small balls. Dip each ball first in water, then in sugar. (a fun way for the littles to help!) Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes. Watch closely. These cookies are best when they just get set. You don’t want them to turn brown.
