Yummy Cookie Experiment Part 2

Ok, so I tried a Lemon version and a Maple version and they were just as yummy, though the chocolate ones are my favorite thus far. These are the variations:

Lemon Coconut

• Lemon Cake mix (again used one with pudding in the mix)

• Replaced 1 of the Tablespoons of water with lemon juice (would replace both next time)

• Used about 2 cups of flaked coconut (approximate, I just used up the rest of a bag I had on hand and loaded the cookies up)

Maple Walnut

• Yellow Cake Mix (this was a butter recipe mix)

• Added a teaspoon of Maple flavoring to the butter/egg/sugar mixture

• Used about 1-1/2 cups roughly chopped walnuts

These came out with the same spongy texture as the Chocolate Chocolate Chip ones, but spread a bit more on the sheet, I think I remember the butter/egg/sugar mixture being more frothy in the Chocolate cookies, so that might have been the reason, who knows.

The cookies seemed to go over well at our church coffee hour, one of my friends there said that the maple walnut cookies were like "pancakes in a cookie". I would love to use the lemon coconut cookies in a parfait with strawberries and whip cream......
