Indulgence Cookies

1 c butter (softened)
¾ c granulated sugar
¾ c packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 ¼ c flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 bag mini chocolate kisses (can be purchased from Wal-Mart)
1 bag caramel bits (can be purchased from Wal-Mart)
½ bag shredded coconut (cook’s preference =P)

In a separate bowl mix together the flour, soda and salt. Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well. Carefully blend in the flour mixture, mix well. If the cookie dough is too dry stir in some milk. Fold in the chocolate, caramel and coconut. Drop by teaspoonfuls, piling up dough. Bake 7 to 9 minutes in 400º oven.

The Indulgence cookie recipe was adapted from the Delta Chapter of Phi Upsilon Omicron UW High Altitude Cookbook. To turn them back into chocolate chip cookies, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 c chopped pecans for the kisses, caramel bits and coconut. It will still probably be necessary to add some milk to thin out the dough, but not as much as would be needed for the Indulgence cookies.
