- 1/2 cup shortening (I used butter)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sour milk*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Flaked coconut
*To sour milk, add drops of vinegar to milk until it curdles. I recommend using whole milk - that was what my grandmother used.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream shortening with butter in large bowl.
- Add beaten egg.
- In separate bowl, Mix together dry ingredients. Add gradually to egg/butter/sugar mixture.
- Blend in sour milk and vanilla.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheet. Sprinkle with coconut.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
