Although I have a million cookie recipes, I tend to make the same ones over and over. Drop cookies are the easiest so they tend to be a favorite choice, especially if I'm in a hurry.
Recently I added these cookies to my repertoire. Easy, different and so very good; everyone loves them.
Coconut Butterscotch Cookies
(Makes about 4 dozen cookies.)
• 1 1/3 cups flour

• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until fluffy and pale yellow. Add sugar and brown sugar and beat well. Add the egg and vanilla and beat slowly until completely blended.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated. Add the coconut and butterscotch chips, mixing only until blended.
Shape the dough into 1 inch balls or drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges, about 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool briefly on the pans on wire racks before transferring them to cooling racks. Let them cool completely.
