I'm trying some new recipes out, this being one of them, to take to the Ronald McDonald House tomorrow. I thought these just sounded fabulous! I gotta say, my house smells delicious! From "The Cookie Bible", mostly.

How To Make fresh island cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda in a small bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla in mixer until creamy. Add egg and beat well. Gradually beat in flour mixture.

Step 2

Stir in morsels, coconut and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
Step 3

Bake for 8 to 11 minutes until edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4

Note: I used a combination of 1 cup milk chocolate and 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate; you can also use other flavored morsels if you prefer (i.e. white chocolate or butterscotch, for instance).
