Ingredients

  • 2 ozs. Butter unsalted
  • ½ cups sugar granulated
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • ½ teaspoon bitters
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 3 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup raisins seedless
  • 2 cups finely grated coconut

Instructions

  • 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).

Notes

Soak the raisins before you add it to the dough.
