A nice tropical variation of the traditional hermit cookie. For another twist on this theme substitute diced dried pineapple for part of the dried dates. Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup packed flaked coconut |
2/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts |
2/3 cup chopped dates |
2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda and baking powder.
2. Add butter, egg and vanilla.
3. Mix until thoroughly blended.
4. Roll dough into walnut sized balls and place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
5. Press down slightly with the heal of your hand to flatten.
6. Bake at 350ºF for 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
7. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet; then remove and cool completely on wire racks.
