When I got home from work this morning, J-man was still in the bed. So as not to wake him, I fed the dog and let her out, then decided to make a batch of cookies to pass the time.
Now, I am a mediocre cook, a lackadaisical kind of baker. But this idea, modified slightly, came from Africankelli-- here: http://www.africankelli.com/2006/09/26/pumpkin-ravioli-and-pistachio-sugar-cookies/
Instead of sugar cookies, I got out a package of oatmeal cookie mix and dumped what I thought was a box of instant sugar-free butterscotch pudding into it, as I had done this past weekend. As I was tossing the box, I noticed it was cheesecake flavor instead. Ooops. Can't take it out. What to do? Look for pecans to add. Didn't find pecans, but DID find coconut. I added about 1/4 C of coconut to it, more than doubled the amount of water the mix called for (originally 1 T, so I put in 3 to adjust for the added powder), and baked for 10 minutes. Oh, my goodness, these are such good cookies. I decided I'd better blog this so I won't forget how to do it. For lack of imagination, these are now "coconut cheesecake oatmeal" cookies.
Now the J-man is up, and I have to work another 12 tonight, so I'm going to bed--AFTER I hide some back to take with me!
Enjoy!
