I have a recipe that's similar to this that my brother got when he was in high school. I know, who's BROTHER gets recipes? That's a whole other story for a whole other day - today is about the cookie. I was looking forward to making these because I thought they'd turn out like the ones I remember making sooooo looong agoooo.
My very enthusiastic helper was all about the picture taking..."hey Momma, I've got a great idea. Why don't I do this, and you take a picture of me"
This recipe has mashed potatoes in it! It's really very simple - no actual baking! Just add all the ingredients, mix together and shape into balls.
Dip in chocolate and you're ready to give 'em a try.
Very easy for my little one to help because there was no oven required. She thoroughly enjoyed helping to make the cookies, but they earned a sad face in the taste category. I'm not sure she has ever tried coconut before, but now she knows she's not a fan.
As for me, they didn't taste quite like I remembered from high school. Now, I've really got to find that old recipe to see how they differ. Two down, 448 to go!
You know I have to have this book now, right? I'll put it on my wish list:)
