I find it amazing that my family and I can eat so many desserts in such short periods of time. If the dessert is really good - it will be gone in a couple hours. But, there are "8" of us to eat it all. And, we of course eat healthy & delicious meals to balance it all off. I absolutely love a good meal along with a delicious dessert. Doesn't everyone?!
Can you believe Election Day is 2 days away??!!

You have me looking forward to stopping back to see what's new! keep it up...Thanks
I love your list so far! I'm sure it will only get better as you get closer to #1!!!
My mom used to make a similar cookie to your coconut drop, but instead of coconut she used crushed cornflakes (I think!). I adore coconut, so I'm going to try these for sure!
I have heard of Nieman Marcus Cookies, but not the bars! They look delicious!
OMG! Now this post really got my attention. I can't wait to see what's left.
I love all things coconut...again another added to the Christmas bake-a-thon!!!
Yummy!!!! Those bars look amazing!

I'll take a dozen of each please. They look fantastic Priscilla!
I love coconut so I'll have to make a batch of these just for myself!
I am loving all of these recipes!! Keep them coming! The coconut cookies looks super delicious!
Both of these recipes look and sound amazing. You are lucky to have 8 people to help you eat the desserts. There are only 2 of us here, which is why I rarely make desserts (unless company is coming) or we would be bigger than houses. Cause the two of us seem to be able to make things disappear about as quickly as the 8 of you.
Those look so yummy! I have lost your email address. I am working on my schedule and wondered if you wanted to start flute lessons in November. Just checking.
Thanks,
Sara Butler
It just keeps getting better and better over here!! Love these coconut cookies, and then I scrolled down and saw those cute little haystacks!! Love it all Priscilla!
We're only at #5 and it's going to get better isn't it? I hope my heat and my hips can handle all these yummy treats!
I am getting a sugar rush just looking at your sweets! I grew up un a big family and everything I made would be gone in minutes . . . now I share with neighbors quite often or else they just sit their since my hubby and I get sweeted out!
I want to make both of these!
Your cookies look so pretty.
Coconut is always a delicious addition to any cookie, especially when it is pretty much the main ingredient. Looks fantastic, Priscilla. I'd love to try those Neiman Marcus bards as well.
yummy! cream cheese makes desserts taste so delicious!
A drooling post and sooo yummy!
