My friend and I are in charge of the bus trips for our senior citizen center. We also make the treats, and these are always popular.

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon coconut or almond extract
  • 3 cups biscuit/baking mix

  2. Bake at 350° for 9-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
