Ingredients
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup white vanilla baking chips
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
Glaze
1/2 cup white vanilla baking chips
1 tablespoon shortening
Instructions:
Some of my suggested changes include: switching the coconut extract for vanilla extract, using milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate, or use colored sprinkles over the top of the freshly drizzled cookies. If you want to go completely from scratch with these cookies, substitute your favorite sugar cookie recipe for the mix.
Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture. But don't count on them lasting long!
I am a small town girl living a big city dream in Dallas, Texas. I grew up in White Hall, graduated from White Hall High School (Go Bulldogs!) and began the adventures that have become my life. White Hall will always hold a little piece of my heart, no matter where I hang my hat. I am a wife to an awesome guy. I have a ridiculous number of kids. I love my huge extended family beyond all measure. My friends are very much a part of that family. I am an Office Manager by day and a Party Planner every chance I get. Organization is a passion for me. My hobbies include traveling whenever I get the chance, reading whenever I sit down for more than five minutes, cooking and baking fun and different recipes, planning my next crazy adventure, and spending time with friends and family. I am also addicted to Facebook.
