Butternut Cookies
Description
Butternut Cookies are made by creaming butter and sugar, then adding egg, treacle, and vanilla essence. Milk and sifted dry ingredients, including cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and plain flour, are combined into the mixture. Desiccated coconut added last provides a chewy texture and coconut flavor throughout the cookie.
Shaped into small balls and slightly flattened on a greased baking tray, the cookies bake in a moderately hot oven about 10 minutes, resulting in golden, soft, and chewy cookies with coconut bits dispersed inside. Their moderate sweetness and buttery base provide a comforting cookie experience.
