Cooking time: 20-30 min
Level: Intermediate

Ingredients:
2 ozs. Butter
½ cups sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
½ tsp bitters
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
½ cup raisins
2 cups finely grated coconut

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg, bitters and vanilla; beat well.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add coconut and raisins. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Add a little bit of water if necessary to moisten the batter. (However, the batter should be firm enough to hold their shape while baking).

Grease a cookie sheet and drop spoonfuls of batter onto it.

Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the drops are firm and golden.

NB. You may also sprinkle some sugar on them and return to oven for about 3 minutes.

Yields about 22 drops
