Butterscotch Coconut Cookies

INGREDIENTS:
1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (also tried almond extract . Loved the almond best)
1 egg
2 cups butterscotch chips
2 cups flaked coconuts
¾ cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 375.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and extract (vanilla/almond), until creamy. I don’t use an electric mixer coz I prefer the texture that's not perfectly smooth.

Beat in egg.

Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels, coconut flakes and nuts. Drop unto baking sheets. Bake 8-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Enjoy with the family. :-)

Tim’s way: he adds frangelica instead (almond liquer).
