Caramel Heavenlies
My mom made these dressy, sweet cookies for cookie exchanges when I was a little girl, letting me sprinkle on the almonds and coconut. They're so easy to fix that sometimes I can't wait 'til Christmas to make a batch. —Dawn Burns, Lake St. Louis, Missouri36 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
