I've been making my husband these cookies most of the years we've been married. Our great-grandchildren like to come over to munch on these chewy treats, too. Chilling time is included in cooking time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar for 2 minutes or until fluffy. Add eggs; mix well. Gradually add water and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the cream mixture. Fold in coconut. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
2. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart in greased baking sheets; flatten with fingers into 2 1/2 x 1 inch oblong shapes. Press lengthwise with a floured fork. Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
