TWD: Coconut Butter Thins

This post is going to be VERY short. The kids and I had the stomach flu all weekend and, while I am feeling better, I haven't had much motivation to anything. That's why I have been MIA over the last couple of days.

This weeks TWD choice was Coconut Butter Thins. FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC! I loved these little cookies (even if they aren't the prettiest cookies!). The lime, coconut, and macadamia nuts worked so well together! And on a side note, was anyone else singing "You put the lime in the coconut" while making these? :) I couldn't get that song out of my head for days!




Thanks to Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch for choosing these gems! Head to her blog for the recipe and check out the blogroll for posts which I'm sure are more entertaining than this one!

    Hope you and the kiddos are 100% soon!

    The shout of FANTASTIC has convinced me that when I stop being lazy about making cookies I need to make these asap.

    I hope you guys feel better SOON!

    I am currently battling a head cold ( a gift from the hubs before he left to Tucson on Sunday).

    These cookies were addictive and thankfully I only had one. The resistance was very difficult!

    Good job on yours!
