Well it was a low key weekend here, Rick had to work both days so we didn't really do much. Sorry today it's a short post, I'm having a killer headache ... ugh! Much Love to you all!
Rick's favorite cookies is anything coconut!
Macaroon Kisses Recipe
Macaroon Kisses Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
- 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups flaked coconut, divided
- 48 milk chocolate kisses
- Coarse sugar
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in 3 cups coconut. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.
- Roll into 1-in. balls and roll in the remaining coconut. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cool on pan for 2-3 minutes or until chocolate is softened. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 4 dozen.
I found this recipe at Winco in the bulk isle when I was looking for coconut (believe me the cheapest way to go). I then found it it on Taste of home so I didn't have to retype it :).

Good to see you Hon, we should do it more often (if nothing else than to gab about Tim Gunn and that Klum chick...)
Hope you and your little guy are feeling better!

Love the roses! They're beautiful!
The face paintings turned out great! The boys must have loved that!
I can't believe you signed up for something else! That's neat that you are getting so involved in your church though and I'm sure it will be fun. :-)
Mercy WOMAN! You signed up for something else?????
ReplyDeletePoor lil babe...sleeping on that hard cart...he had to have been totally tuckered out!
Hope Caden gets to feeling better soon. Lovely flowers you received.
ReplyDeleteYou are a cooking machine! I'm sure the youth group will enjoy the meals that you make.
I'm trying to picture what spaghetti for 30 teens looks like. Yikes! I can imagine 30 kids if I try really hard, but ... teenagers? :) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI hope your headache goes away, totally know how you feel, had the WORST migraine on Monday, was in bed (when not throwing up) until 4:00.
ReplyDeletePoor little Caden, I hope you find out exactly what is wrong with him, he looks miserable.
Glad you liked your women's ministry class, but I agree with Daffy - you signed up for something else??? You need to make sure you REST some!! You are going to make yourself sick. But your heart knows no bounds and that is one of the reasons I love you so much!! And the reasons you get such lovely flowers - people LOVE YOU!!!
Those cookies look awesome, I make macaroons, too, but I do it the easy way by getting a mix from King Arthur flour catalogue and adding stuff to it, they are SO good.
You ROCK, mama!!
