Unbelievable Battered Fish (or anything else you can think of:))

"All you need for this fish batter is flour, salt, baking powder, milk, and water. Your result will be thinly-coated, crispy, and delicious."

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
2 Tbs. baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
a couple of sprinkles of pepper
a couple of sprinkles of garlic powder

Directions:
Whisk together the flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl until smooth.

Pat fish pieces (Tilapia or Cod work best) dry and lightly dip in flour (to help the batter stick) then into batter. Gently lower the battered pieces into 1/2 inch of hot oil (approx 360° or med. heat). Fry until golden brown then turn over. Approx. 3-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel. Serve with Homemade Tartar Sauce.

This is an excellent batter for chicken, cheese sticks or just about anything else you can think of. You can omit the garlic powder if desired...

White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

1 bag of sugar cookie mix (Betty Crocker)
1 cube softened butter
1 egg
1/2 c. diced macadamia nuts
1/2 c. white chocolate chips
3/4 c. shredded coconut

Mix all ingredients together. I just measured them all into my kitchenaid and mixed it until it came together. Then using a cookie scoop, drop them onto ungreased cookie sheet. I got 20 on each cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until the edges just barely start to brown. I found this recipe on Semi-Homemade and just made a few adjustments. They were really good and really easy! Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
