COCONUT SURPRISE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Hand mix cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large bowl. This will be extremely messy. Do this until batter is firm and holds together well.
• In a separate bowl hand mix coconut, and milk; adding the milk slowly till mixture is moist.(You may not need all of the milk depending on the brand of coconut).
• Take teaspoon sized amounts of dough and flatten. (I found if works best if I flatten against my palm). Place a generous pinch of coconut mixture and place in the center of the flattened batter. Roll the dough so that the coconut is not exposed. (pinch the sides closed if needed).
• Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes. Move onto wire rack to cool.
