1 c. sifted flour
1 c. flaked coconut
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix flour and coconut; set aside. Combine sugar, syrup and butter in heavy saucepan; bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; gradually blend into flour mixture. Add vanilla.

Drop dough onto a foil covered cookie sheet by scant teaspoonfuls about 3-inches apart. Bake at 325°F for 8-10 minutes. Cool cookies 3-5 minutes on a rack until foil can be removed easily.

Yield 2 dozen cookies.
