• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2/3 cup sweetened coconut

METHOD

Mix flour, baking powder and soda in a small bowl.

Combine molasses, sugar and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a full boil and cook 1 minute. Remove rapidly from heat.

Stir flour mixture and coconut into liquid mixture. Stir to combine.

Drop by 1/2 teaspoonfuls on baking sheets that are lightly greased or covered with parchment paper. Bake in preheated 350° F oven. for 5 to 8 minutes. These are delicate, so allow to cool just a little, then remove carefully. Place on wire rack to cool, or roll around wooden spoon (good to not conduct heat) to form small tubes.

Optional: drizzle melted sweet chocolate over wafers.
