Mock-a-Roons

1/2 c. butter                
1 tsp. coconut extract
1 c. sugar                
1 1/3 c. potato flakes
1 egg                    
1 1/3 c. biscuit baking mix

Heat oven to 325 degrees.  Cream the butter with sugar, then beat in the egg and coconut extract. Stir in potato flakes and baking mix.  Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.  Bake for 12 minutes, til bottoms are light brown but tops are white.   If you bake them any longer than this, they won’t be chewy.  Cool 1-2 minutes on cookie sheet, then remove and cool completely on a cooling rack. 

 2 dozen.  Note: if you don’t have biscuit mix, use 1 1/3 c. flour,  1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
