Twenty-five Spools

 

I don’t think Heather’s ever met a cookie she didn’t like. So, when people ask about her favorite cookie, I’m never sure how to answer. It might be chocolate chip. Isn’t that everyone’s favorite? When we lived in England, she definitely gravitated towards “spotty-dotties, which are just chocolate chip cookies with M&M’s where the chips ought to be. But if she has a second-favorite cookie, it’s probably this one:

 

Chewy Coconut Cookies

 

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups flaked coconut

 

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually blend in the flour mixture and coconut. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes at 350F until lightly toasted. Cool on wire racks.
