Old Town B&B Website

As a welcome to my guests, I leave homemade cookies and a refreshing beverage in their rooms. Here is one favorite.

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups Wheaties cereal or cornflakes (crumble a bit by hand)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened if possible)

1 Tablespoon lemon or orange zest

Cream butter and shortening Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Add baking soda and salt to flour. Beating on low speed, add flour to above mixture. Then add vanilla. Finally stir in cereal, coconut, and lemon or orange zest. Drop by spoonfuls on a lightly buttered cookie sheet. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
