Hello!

Happy 15th Birthday!!

    I had a nice long post typed up yesterday... then I lost it.  :-(  But, I won't be posting that until tomorrow. Right now, I'm posting a cookie recipe, in honor of Rose's 15th Birthday!  :-D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

(Recipe originally from my friend Alycia)

Ingrdients:

1 C butter

1 C white sugar

1 C brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tbs.  water

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

1 C chocolate chips

2 C flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

2 C oatmeal

7-10 ounces shredded coconut

Directions:

Cream together the butter, and sugars.

Stir in the eggs, water, vanilla, and salt.

Then stir in the chocolate chips, the oatmeal, and the coconut.

In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Then add the ingredients to the rest.

Drop cookies onto a cookie sheet, (Try to keep them on the small side), and bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly raw in the middle. Remove from the cookie sheet and alow to cool. This makes a rather large batch of cookies.

    There you are, Rose! I hope you like them!  :-)  I wasn't sure what your preferences were, so I just picked one of my favorites.

♥ Happy Birthday! ♥
