Every night our neighbors leave a treat on the front door step is filled with cookies, cookies, and more cookies! It has been so fun! I love seeing the Christmas bags nicely decorated adorning our front step, then filled with delicious goodness.
As promised earlier today, I want to share this new cookie with you. Cookies are my favorite treat at Christmas. What about you?
Last week I fiddling around in the kitchen with some new ideas for cookies to share during the holidays.
I love my own recipe for Toasted Almond Russian Tea Cakes. But this year I wanted to try something just a little different. I had fun “playing” while I came up with this recipe:
{Meegan’s Coconut Chocolate Cakes}
Mix thoroughly:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp coconut flavoring
Work in until dough holds together:
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Roll dough by tablespoonfuls with 4-5 chocolate chips inside. Place onto ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until set but not brown. While warm, roll the cookie in powdered sugar. About 5 minutes later roll in sugar again.
Seriously like a melted chocolaty, coconutty mouth of goodness. YUMmmmmmmmm….
Let me know if you give it a try. Ours were gone very quickly!!
Have YOU ever made up your own cookie recipe before? I have a couple of times, and it is really fun with trial and error to see what I can come up with.
Cookies, Cookies and MORE cookies! That what this year has been for us.
I hope you are have a lovely Christmas season filled with family and those you hold dear to your heart.
