Tasty Tuesday

I won this great little book from a giveaway on Connie's blog.

I also got a way cute apron and a few other GREAT goodies.

This book is so cute.

It has a colored picture for nearly every recipe.

I've looked at every page at least 5 times. So fun.

The first recipe I decide to fix was these coconut cookies.

I made them to pass out to the sisters after my R/S lesson a few weeks ago.

The were received with lots of Yums!

Coconut Clouds

2 2/3 cups flaked coconut, divided

1 pkg. Yellow cake mix (I used a white cake mix in the above picture)

1 egg

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon almond flavoring

1. Preheat oven to 350*. Reserve 1 1/3 cups coconut in medium bowl

2. Combine cake mix, egg, oil, water and almond extract in large bowl.

Beat at low speed with electric mixer. Stir in remaining 1 1/3 cups coconut.

I used the small cookie scoop and scooped cookie dough balls into

the remaining coconut. Roll to cover lightly.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

3. Bake at 350* for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet before moving to cooling racks.

Cool completely.

Store in airtight container.

Makes 3 dozen.

What I will do different next time I make them is this:

They reminded me of the Girl Scout Cookie, Samoas.

So I think that I would dip the bottoms in chocolate and then put chocolate stripes on them.

Can you say double Yum!
