| |  Yummy Cookie | |
Brian and I made these last night for my coworkers. They look pretty and taste YUMMY! Just let them cool completely before you dig in - they're not amazing until they're totally cooled. |

I've made these before and loved them. I misplaced my recipe and have tried others, but this looks like the same one. Thanks!!!

I love the peanut butter thumbprint cookies! I've never made them (but I have certainly eaten them) and the batter has peanut butter in it and the thumbprint in the middle has a Hershey's kiss in it!
Yummy!!!! |

I love those, Delia, and I haven't made them in years! I am thinking that making a batch would cheer us all up since #4 loves to cook. |

I wanted to make these this afternoon, but Dan was tied up on the PC and I couldn't find my mom's recipe. She used crushed nuts instead of coconut, and I started really jonesing for them after reading this thread.

This recipe is on my to do list for tomorrow. 
I get to test out the mixer I bought myself for Christmas.

Yay!
We're putting a mixer on our list - and a paddle attachment.
With a mixer, these cookies will be EASY! And they're so yummy! |

I just mixed the dough and am waiting for it to chill.
OMG I LOVE my mixer! It took all of about 30 seconds to make the dough. I'm so glad I convinced me to buy it for me.
Meanwhile, Chip announced that he doesn't like coconut. I'm going to make 1/2 a batch without it. Do you think they'll seem like they're missing something?

we made a few without coconut, and they are MUCH better with the coconut. Even if you just use a tiny bit of coconut, it adds a lot to the cookie. |

Hmmmm. I wonder if I can make him believe that they're flakes of white chocolate.
Do you think it'll work?

You can make a few without coconut, but they won't look as pretty or taste as yummy.
Does he like nuts? You might try rolling a few in crushed pecans instead of coconut - but really the coconut is soooo good. And I'm not a big coconut person. |

and let them cool completely before tasting - because the flavor comes out when they're totally cooled. |

The only nuts he likes are peanuts. And those aren't even real nuts.
Oh, and he likes me.

He might like it if you rolled around in the dough. |

I certainly wouldn't mind rolling in dough.
The verdict?

I had considered that. But I couldn't bring myself to ruin a cookie that I might otherwise scarf down if it remained uneaten.

Chip can buy his own Nillas. I'm too busy eating these cookies before the nocturnal scavenger begins his kitchen rampage. I may go to bed with a stomach ache, but at least I won't wake up in the morning and see that they're all gone.

Hubby hates coconut. He loves Entenmann's raspberry danish. Read the ingredients some day - apparently he hasn't

There is coconut in Entemenn's danish? I always say that! I always try it thinking I will like it (it looks good) and then I go  "this tastes like coconut." I seem to never learn.
I hate coconut. Chip can hang out with me. If I made these cookies, there's no way I'd "ruin" them with coconut |

YUM coconut!
Did I ever tell you guys about the INSANE coconut cravings I had when I was pg with Buster? I literally took a can of pineapple and DUMPED a bag of coconut on it. Of course, like most things the first 8 weeks or so with him, I promptly hurled after I ate it, but most of that pregancy, things were doused in coconut. Peanut butter and coconut sandwiches? Check. Coconut in cereal? Check. |
