Had extra coconut pecan frosting left over from a tub but no cake mix. So I didn't use the frosting part of the recipe. This cookie worked perfectly! Yum. I pressed a hole in the middle when they came out and put the frosting in while still hot. It melted in and eating them warm was the best!

This was an excellent cookie. I shared these with several people who all adored them. It was very simple to make. We did put a LOT of the topping on the cookies so we could have used a bit more. Thanks for a great recipe!
