Hawaiian Snowballs

So I had a recipe for these...and then I lost it...so I kind of made this up...I think it's pretty similar and they taste SUPER good! :-)

Ingredients:
1 box white cake mix
3 egg whites
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup macadamia nuts chopped
6 oz white chocolate chopped or white chocolate chips
cream cheese frosting
shredded coconut for topping

Preheat oven to 350°. In bowl mix cake mix, egg whites and oil. Add nuts and white chocolate. Roll into 1 inch balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly with back of spoon. Bake for 7-10 mins. Cool on wire rack.

After the cookies have cooled, frost them with the cream cheese frosting.



After the cookies have been frosted, top with the shredded coconut. Press down lightly to make sure the coconut doesn't fall off.



Then enjoy! These don't take very long and they are definitely a cookie kids can help with!

Moon Baubles

This is the coolest cookie recipe and uses CHEERIOS as a main ingredient. My kids will not eat cheerios as a cereal, nor will my hubby, but we all LOVE this recipe. It tastes just like a yummy chocolate chip cookie recipe, but is considered health food because of the whole grain goodness of Cheerios! (Yah, I know, not health food, but close:0))

1/2 C. butter or margarine

1 C. sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 C. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

2 1/2 C. Cheerios

1/2 C. M&M's or chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar in large bowl. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until fluffy. Stir in flour and baking soda. Mix well. Add Cheerios and chocolate. Mix until blended. Drop by teaspoons on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. Makes about 2 dozen.
