Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil or other oil
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus 1/4 cup more sugar for smashing down the dough balls)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 stick, 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or coconut extract
  • 4-5 tablespoons evaporated milk (from the can)
  • 1-2 cups coconut flakes
  • Cadbury mini eggs

Instruction

  • In a bowl combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
  • In another bowl, with an electric mixer combine butter, oil, and sugars. Cream together. Add the eggs and water; mix well. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Form dough into golf ball sized dough balls, and lay on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. With a small glass cup, dip the bottom of the cup in the reserved 1/4 cup sugar, then use it to smash the dough down flat.
  • Bake at 350ºF for 8-10 minutes, do not over cook!!! Set aside to cool.
  • To make frosting, whip ingredients together until frosting is light and fluffy.
  • To make toasted coconut, spread out 1-2 cups of coconut flakes on a baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 4-6 minutes. Keep an eye on them because they cook very quickly and can burn easily.
  • To assemble cookies, top room temperature cookies with frosting, toasted coconut, and Cadbury mini eggs.
