Apr 21, 2011

Ingredients

1 pouch Betty Crocker* Sugar Cookie Mix
1 tbsp (15 mL) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup (75 mL) butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 tub Betty Crocker* Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
1 cup (250 mL) flaked coconut
Food colour
Jelly beans

Steps

1

Heat oven to 375ºF. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and egg until dough forms.
2

Shape dough into 24 (2-inch) balls. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
3

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
4

Frost cookies. Add coconut to a 1-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add 2 to 3 drops food colour, shaking bag to blend colour. It may be necessary to add 1 to 2 teaspoons water to help disperse the colour evenly or additional food colour until desired colour is reached.
5

Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon coconut onto each cookie. Top with jelly beans.
