I felt like baking today (second time already this year - very unusual for me, I usually bake only at Xmas time), and I had a bunch of peanut better in the house so I made a couple of different cookie type things with peanut butter. But sorry, that is not the recipe I am going to tell you about, so sorry if you are a PB freak.

Anyway, I also made a yummy chocolate cookie that my mom used to make when i was a kid. I, however have perfected the lazy woman's method of cooking these. They are called Coconut Islands (if you have shreaded coconut), however I didn't discover that I had none till I had some of the ingredients in the bowl already, so today we had Pecan Islands instead,. They were every bit as yummy.

Blah blah blah I hope you haven't been holding your breath all this time waiting for the recipe, because if you have, you're turning blue by now.

I package of chocolate cake mix
three whole eggs
1/3 cup veggie or canola oil

Put it all in a medium bowl and stir, If desired, add 1/2 cup nuts to the mix after it is stirred. It makes a stiff batter, almost like piecrust - I used the mixer with a dough hook to mix them today - lots easier than stirring this thick batter.

When fully blended together, roll the dough into little balls and set on a cookie sheet. The dough will spread out a little, so leave an inch in between the cookies. Press each ball down with something - I used a rubber scraper and it worked fine. Bake at 350 for ten to twelve miutes. Let cool and then ice each one with canned chocolate icing. Drop a nice little pinch of shredded coconut on top, or as I did today, sprinkle so chopped or crushed pecans on top. Pat it down a little into the icing. Grab a glass of milk and munch away. I got 59 cookies about 1 1/2 inches in size out of this recipe.
Smooches,
Keri
These cookies freeze well if you don't want to eat them all at once. put wax paper between the layers before freezing.
