Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). In large bowl, mix cake mix, 2/3 cup coconut, the oil and eggs with spoon until dough forms.
2 Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press thumb into center of each cookie to make indentation, but do not press all the way to the cookie sheet. Fill each indentation with level 1/4 measuring teaspoon of the frosting.
3 Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of the toasted coconut. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Store covered.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To toast coconut, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350°F oven 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.

For a sparkly finish to these cookies, roll balls of dough in granulated sugar. Instead of topping the baked cookies with toasted coconut, sprinkle with toasted chopped pecans.

LOVED the cookies. German chocolate cake is the only chocolate cake I would eat so making these into bite size "cakes" was perfect for Christmas. Waiting till the store stocks back with more cake mix so I can use the rest of the frosting.
