If you don’t have a cookbook to follow along with us yet, I suggest you get one just for these cookies! They only have four ingredients. One is a cake mix and another is frosting from a can. The best part is that there is only one ingredient that needs to be measured and that means little dishes to clean up too! So I mixed the three ingredients together, rolled the dough into balls, baked 8-10 minutes, cooled and sandwiched together with coconut pecan frosting from a can! I used the large end of a melon baller to get a consistent amount of dough to roll into small balls for bite size cookies. I have way too many interruptions to time myself but it didn’t take long. Waiting the 8-10 minutes for each cookie tray to bake was the longest part in the process because I have a conventional oven.
In the past, I’ve had my children read a recipe and prepare it from start to finish on their own with the exception of the hot oven. This is a great recipe to practice reading and following instructions without a child being overwhelmed.
Since I’ve slaved all day in my kitchen and have so many dishes to clean, I just can’t drag myself to deliver cookies today! Danielle "Phoebe"

ReplyDeleteDanielle the cookies look great. This recipe is my friend Emily's favorite so far. She takes them for parties now and her family loves them. The ingredients are so easy to have on hand for unexpected guests. L. Sharon
ReplyDeleteI like how you've taken the picture sideways for an interesting look. Everyone needs a quick go-to recipe in their repertoire. I think this is about the easiest one in the book. Another good job. Theresa G.
ReplyDeleteI went Krogers yesterday for milk. As I made my way to the back of the store, I passed by a display of cake mixes on sale. Wouldn't you know, german chocolate cake and the coconut pecan frosting were part of the display. I felt it was fate as I put those two items in my cart! Also, just curious as to how many pictures you take of the cookies before you get the "one"?
ReplyDeleteWell, let's just say photoshoots used to be with my dog, then my babies and now it's cookies!
ReplyDeleteDanielle,
ReplyDeleteI usually do not like coconut anything but these were amazing. I will definitely try these. Thanks.
