âI search all year long for new recipes to try and give away to friends and family, and I make hundreds of cookies each year. These cookies taste just like a Mounds bar.â âLinda Kappelt, Linesville, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 egg |
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled |
3 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
filling: |
1/3 cup cream cheese, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup flaked coconut |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, chocolate and vanilla. Combine flour and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and vanilla until smooth. Stir in coconut and nuts. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
