1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of coconut flavor
1 cup of flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup of flaked coconut
1 cup of crisp rice cereal
1 cup of quick rolled oats
Cream the butter and sugars in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, vanilla, and coconut flavor, beating well and setting aside. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir this mixture into the butter and sugar mixture, blending well. Add coconut, oats, and rice cereal. Roll into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls and then bake at 325 degrees for 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
