My daughters and I have been fair-ly successful competitors at county fairs and bake-offs for more than 20 years. This is one of the those winning recipes.Eilene Bogar, Minier, Illinois Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup chopped pecans or flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to cream mixture. Fold in pecans or coconut (dough will be sticky). Shape into two rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
2. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 7 to 10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
