Caribbean Lime Coolers

These cookies are a bite of freshness!
Sweet and tangy.
I found this recipe on the Betty Crocker site and have been wanting to make them for quite a while now.
The only change I made was to add white chocolate chips-every now and again you get a white chip in your bite-YUM I also toasted the coconut, I think it's really the only way to eat coconut;)
~
Ingredient list:

Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
toasted coconut
zest and juice of 1 lime
butter
1 egg
white chocolate chips
powdered sugar

I love how quick these cookies mixed up and were baked and ready to eat!

That's what I love about a mix-quick and super easy!

Zest adds so much flavor and it's always nice to add a little color;)

Ever tried cracking an egg and taking a picture at the same time???
Me neither I cracked it first then tried to keep it in one side of the shell and click;)
Just so ya know!

I used 1/2 a bag but you could use the whole thing or less if you like.

the recipe calls for 3 T. but I just squeezed the whole thing in there-worked out fine:)

stir and drop...

the dough was a little soft but worked out for some soft and yummy cookies
Bake for 9 to 13 minutes.
I baked mine for 9 minutes exactly.

Dust with a little powdered sugar.
Enjoy!!

Camping Cookies

I am not sure what these cookies are actually called but they became "camping" cookies because I make them almost every time we go camping.
"Are you making the camping cookies???"
"Are we going camping? then of course I'm making them!!"
Every time!!!
~
These are not just your run of the mill chocolate chip cookies they are super, super yummy!!
And just so you know I don't really even like chocolate chip cookies-that's how good these cookies are!
Cinnamon is the secret ingredient and I usually add just a tiny bit extra because I like the spicy, warm flavor it gives. I also like to add pecans if I can get by with it!
Now let me tell you what up with 'em:

basic-butter{2-1/4 c.!!!} sugar and brown sugar-beat until fluffy
that's alot of butter!;)

flour, baking soda and salt
and oats to add at the end with the chips

3 eggs and some vanilla


this recipe makes a ton of cookies-perfect for freezing or company:)

We made S'mores with 'em!
DELISH!!

at this point you would add in the oats and cinnamon

6 cups of chocolate chips!!
I thought that was too many but the hubs thought maybe just a bit more would have been nice-but his favorite cookie is chocolate chip...
guess we don't have that in common;)

I decided I didn't want to be scooping cookies forever so I used the large scoop but you do whatever ya want;)

Perfection!!
Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!!!

Tangy Chocolate-Orange Pinwheel Cookies

Cookie Friday returns!!
Last week was crazy with all of us going to VBS so there was no cookie last week:(
These cookies were made by my friend Sonya from my cookies to make stack!
She nicely brought them over for me to take pictures of and of course taste-she is such a nice friend hey!

These cookies were really good I did think that the orange needed a bit more orange flavor.
The orange is flavored with Tang-throwback to childhood!!!
Loved that stuff:)
Here is the ingredient list:

powdered sugar
butter
egg
flour
salt
baking cocoa
orange flavored beverage crystals

Sonya suggested that you not bake them for the full 8 minutes because they burn very easy-so in the printable I put the time at 4 to 6 minutes.

Enjoy your weekend!!!
