1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon orange juice
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup flaked coconut for decoration
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, orange juice, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla and mix in the dry ingredients until well blended. Stir in the rolled coconut. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 7 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven then remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Cut cookies into three inch squares. Use the sharp knife to remove any cookies that do not measure at least 1 inch square. Store cookies tightly covered in the refrigerator.
