  • 1/2 Cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 Cup granulated sugar

Procedure

Preheat oven to 350°F.

For cookies, cream butter and sugars together until light and creamy; beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. In small bowl, mix flour, curry, soda, baking powder and salt together well. Add to creamed mixture and mix together well. Stir in cornflakes, oats, coconut and raisins, by hand, mixing until combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet.
