Courtney and Jaren were over for dinner last night so I thought I’d whip up a little treat.  There was a bit of a learning curve with this one so I’ll pass on my mistakes so that if you make these, they’ll turn out better than mine.  First of all, don’t use a Belgian Waffle Maker, use an old school flat one, it will work better.  Also keep the temperature on medium or maybe even low depending on how hot your waffle iron runs.  I cooked them at too high a temperature and they were good but really crunchy.  Let me know how it goes!  It’s a Taste of Home recipe.

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup chopped cashews

1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

1  Combine sugars, butter, egg and vanilla.  Combine flour, salt and baking soda then gradually add to sugar mixture.  Stir in coconut, nuts and chips.

2  Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto preheat waffle iron sprayed with cooking spray.  Bake 1 – 2 minutes (it will probably take longer on a lower temperature) or until golden brown.  Remove to wire racks to cool.
