The dust has settled around here after a crazy weekend, and things are getting back to normal. Here's an old recipe for cookies that I've had since just after we got married. Now that I wrote that sentence, I realize we have an anniversary coming up next week; where has the time gone!! Anyway, this is one cookie that I liked to make to show off my beginning talent in the kitchen. It always went over well, and that was an encouragement when I was learning to cook and bake.
BOUTONNIERES
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups oatmeal (I used quick oats then, but I prefer rolled oats now)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup coconut
Sift flour, baking powder, salt. Cream brown sugar and butter together. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Stir in oatmeal, walnuts, and coconut. Bake on greased sheets 12 to 15 minutes at 350°.
