A cross between a cookie and what my Nana used to call baking powder biscuits. These are great to enjoy with a cup of coffee in the morning or grab one when you're running out the door.
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
3 tsps baking powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
zest of 1/2 lemon
2 1/2 cups shredded coconut
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 cup evaporated milk
Sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon together then cut in the butter with a pastry blender.
Add the lemon zest, coconut and sugar. Then combine the milk and extracts and add to the dry mixture.
Finally add the raisins and drop by heaping tablespoons onto lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350 F for 18-20 minutes.
(Is it just me or do you see a sad face in this one?)
