Sunday, March 09, 2008

See? I should stick with baked goods.

Recipe:
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons shortening, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes
6 oz white chocolate chips
2 oz macadamia nuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cream butter, shortening and sugars until well blended. Add the egg and vanilla extract and blend well. Add flour, baking soda and salt to creamed mixture till dough forms. Stir in coconut flakes, chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Drop teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 13 minutes. Cool slightly and transfer to cooling racks.
