Egging

Cookin' It Up

Hawaiian Twist:

2 minute cookies:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2 1/2 Tblsp baking cocoa
1/4 cup coconut (extra for rolling)
Directions: Melt/mix: butter, sugar and milk. Add dry ingrediants. Roll dollops of dough into balls. Roll them in coconut. Place on cookie sheet w/ wax paper. Chill.

My first attempt at a pina colada!
1/2 cup rum
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup pinapple chunks
Ice
Fill blender 1/2 way w/ icecubes, add other ingrediants. Blend..enjoy (for most transporting effect garnish w/ a little umbrella and a straw:)
We didn't have coconut milk or rum so I substituted with Lactade milk and liquer. Good, but honestly far too sweet. Will have to tweek in the future.

What's for supper?
