Fresh Island Cookies image

I'm trying some new recipes out, this being one of them, to take to the Ronald McDonald House tomorrow. I thought these just sounded fabulous! I gotta say, my house smells delicious! From "The Cookie Bible", mostly.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 2/3 cup(s) flour
3/4 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
3/4 cup(s) butter, softened
3/4 cup(s) brown sugar
1/3 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 - large egg
1 3/4 cup(s) milk chocolate morsels (11.5 oz pkg)
1 cup(s) flaked coconut, toasted if desired
1 cup(s) chopped nuts (i used pecans)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda in a small bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla in mixer until creamy. Add egg and beat well. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
  • Stir in morsels, coconut and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Note: I used a combination of 1 cup milk chocolate and 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate; you can also use other flavored morsels if you prefer (i.e. white chocolate or butterscotch, for instance).
