Gourmet Cookie Bouquets Recipe Blog

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup mashed potatoes at room temperature

• 1 tsp. butter or margarine

• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

• 1/2 tsp. almond extract

• 1 – 7 oz. package flaked coconut

• Walnuts, Pecans or Candied Cherries for decorations

Add butter and almond flavoring to potatoes. Gradually stir in sugar (mixture will be very thin). Then stir in coconut. Drop cookies by teaspoonful on waxed paper. Top each one with a walnut, pecan or candied cherry. Let cookies set-up for about a 1/2 hour before packing in an airtight container. These cookies freeze beautifully. By using red halved candied cherries you can make them a festive addition to your holiday cookie delivery to neighbors, friends, and family.
