If the coldest parts of winter are getting you down, it might be time to take things in another direction and enjoy a taste of the tropics. In that spirit, I am offering a cookie recipe that will have you dreaming of vacationing on a beach.
This recipe is really simple and part of that is because it takes advantage of a packaged cake mix. You can actually choose any flavor of cake mix you want, but this is an especially nice combination for the dead of winter.
As always, I encourage you to share your recipe ideas and comments. You can always post comments in the discussion board using the forms provided in the articles or email me directly at . Enjoy!
Pina Colada Macaroons
- 1 pkg. pineapple cake mix
- 1 stick butter or margarine, softened
- 3 eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the coconut. Beat on medium speed until well blended.
Stir in the coconut and drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes in the preheated oven or until puffy and the edges of the cookies are golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
