> Yes, Penny. I think you do taste chocolate more than coconut but it probably depends on how generous you are when you add the chocolate chips.
> You have stumped me on the cresent cookie. It sounds delicious. Maybe Cin will know it......Cin.....you there?

> Jennifer No...have not been on here all day...have been at the doctors. I'm having surgery tomorrow so will be off here for a little while (don't know just how long)...and
Yes.....I have that recipe somewhere, will have to find it (as soon as I remember what it's called).
I got really lazy though and started using one of my pie crust recipes...after rolling it out you cutting it into triangles; spread a generous amount of butter then sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon and drizzle some honey over the buttered triangle then roll them up from large end to small. Place on cookie sheet.
Bake at 350dF until crust is golden brown and done (don't over bake). Cool on racks.
OR just use crescent rolls and do the same thing.
You can put Nutrella, peanut butter, preservs of choice...etc. whatever you want inside.
The real recipe has flour, butter and...etc. as most cookies do.
Well, I have to be at the hospital early in the morning so I'm going to check a few other post and then get myself to bed....see ya down the road.
