Raspberry Drop Cookies

Raspberry and coconut,
a great tasting combination. 
An easy and fast cookie to make.



Ingredients 
 1 cup unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup sugar 
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt 
1 cup coconut (optional)
Jam for middle of cookie.


Directions 
Heat oven to 350 deg.F
Prepare cookie sheets 
with parchment paper 

 With an electric mixer cream 
the butter and sugar together.
Add the eggs and vanilla.

In another bowl whisk together
the flour, baking soda, baking powder,
salt and the coconut.

Combine the flour mixture with
the egg mixture, just until combined.










Drop the dough on a cookie sheet
by tablespoon or a cookie scoop,
spacing them about 2 inches apart.


With your fingers, flatten and shape
the dough, putting an indent in the middle.


Fill the middle with jam, about 1/2 tsp.

Bake approx 20 minutes, or until
they appear brown around the edges.


After they have cooled, mix about 3/4 cup
of icing sugar (confectioners sugar) with
milk to a consistency enough to decorate
the cookies.
Place the icing sugar in the corner of 
 a plastic bag cutting of the end
or a piping bag and use
this to decorate the cookies.





Enjoy
