Last night I dreamed I made cookies with peaches, ginger and coconut. Today I threw together a recipe, and what do you know? Pretty darn delicious. Here it is:
4 small ripe
peaches, peeled, pitted and diced
1/8 cup candied
ginger, diced (WinCo bulk section)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup softened
butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup shredded
coconut
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
extract
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon
salt
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
Combine diced peaches,
candied ginger and cinnamon and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream butter and
sugar. Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add flour, baking soda and salt and
mix well (dough will be dry). Add peach mixture and coconut, stir carefully and
let sit for about 5 minutes for peach juice to soften cookie dough. Stir again,
then use a large spoon to drop 2-inch balls of dough onto a lightly greased
cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 11 – 13 minutes.
That sounds pretty tasty. I had a dream recently that involved chocolate cupcakes, which isn't so odd in reality. However, the toppings on the cupcakes consisted of peanuts, carmel and chocolate syrup, and the grand finale....potato chips! Maybe it is a good thing that I suck at baking.
