Here's a very simple recipe for some nice cookies when you need something
in a hurry.

Preheat oven to 350. Set aside 1 1/3 cups of the coconut.

Combine the cake mix, egg, oil, water and almond extract in large bowl.
Beat at low speed with electric mixer. Stir in remaining 1 1/3 cups
reserved coconut. Drop rounded teaspoonful dough into reserved coconut, and
roll to cover lightly. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with
remaining dough, placing balls 2 inches apart. Bake 1012 minutes, or until
light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on baking sheets. Remove to cooling
racks. Coll completely. Store in airtight container.

3 One half dozen cookies.
