| Flaked Coconut | 2 2/3 cups |
| Egg | 1 |
| Cake Mix | 1 box |
| Oil | 1/2 cup |
| Water | 1/4 cup |
| Almond Extract | 1 tsp |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the Coconut: Reserve 1 1/3 cups of flaked coconut in a bowl and set it aside for later use.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, egg, oil, water, and almond extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients at low speed until they are well mixed and form a smooth batter.
-
Incorporate Coconut: Stir in the remaining 1 1/3 cups of flaked coconut into the batter until it is evenly distributed, infusing it with delicious coconut flavor.
-
Form the Cookies: Using rounded teaspoons of dough, drop portions of the batter into the reserved coconut. Roll each portion of dough in the coconut until it’s fully coated, creating a beautiful coconut crust.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated cookie dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even baking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until they turn a light golden brown, emanating irresistible aromas that fill your kitchen with warmth.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about a minute. Then, carefully transfer them to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
