❨❩ the world gets smaller

it's great when someone takes the time to

write down a recipe for you:

a piece of paper with handwriting:

shared baking secrets:

this one was given to me by Justine when she

lived in the UK:

now she's a zillion miles away in Australia:

we always call these Justine's cookies:

and they are truly yum!

you will need:

125g softened butter

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup brown sugar *200g*

1 egg

1 cup plain flour

1 cup self raising flour *150g*

1 cup desiccated coconut *100g*

250g chopped chocolate

place butter, vanilla extract and sugar in 

a bowl and beat until creamy:

beat egg into mixture and then stir

through flours, coconut and chocolate:

roll 2 tablespoons of mixture at a time into balls:

place balls on lined baking trays and flatten slightly:
