Here’s my recipe for apology cookies.  Miss E is starting to come around and I credit at least 60% of my success to these sweet little treats.

Makes 3-4 dozen 

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar (You can substitute white sugar mixed with a little molasses if you happen to have that)

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract (A luxury these days! Unfortunately, there’s nothing that replaces this)

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups chocolate chips (crushed up chocolate bars will work in a pinch)

1 cup crushed macadamia nuts (I have a stash of these that I keep hidden just for these occasions)

1/2 cup of coconut

Directions:

•  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Mix together flour, salt and baking soda.  Fold in chocolate chips, coconut and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
• Bake for about 10 minutes until cookies are not quite set.  Let cool for 10 minutes (until just set but still warm).

Voila!  The secret to a good apology starts with a good batter!

Very truly,

Mrs. K
