Potato Flake Cookies

I found a recipe similar to this online and tweeked it a bit.  They are quick, easy, and tasty. They are highly approved by my grandson Jesse!
 They are not overly sweet and the potato flakes add a texture as if the cookies have coconut in them.  You could also add some chopped nuts, coconut, or chocolate chips to the mix before you fold in the flakes.  They need to come last.

½ cup butter
1 large egg
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon, coconut, or almond flavoring
1 ½ cup Bisquick mix
1 ¼ cup instant potato flakes
Sprinkles (jimmies) or colored sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large glass bowl that has been chilled for about an hour, cream butter, egg, and sugar until well blended.  Add flavoring of your choice and mix well.  Slowly, mix in Bisquick mix.  Then with a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in potato flakes.  Roll into balls about the size of a walnut and place on cookie that has been little greased or lined with parchment paper.  Lightly press down with fork to slightly flatten.  Sprinkle with the jimmies or colored sugar.  Bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
