I made a few adjustments to this recipe. I used 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup butter and 1 tsp. of vanilla instead of almond flavor and 1/2 cup coconut flakes. They are so yummy and just melt in your mouth. I will definelty make these again!!:)

Yum! Looks great!
Saw (and heard) your Dad at sp. mtg. yesterday. Glad to get an update on your Mom. I'm glad you get to come for a few days to help out. It will lift her spirits to see your two little guys, I'm sure. Thinking of you all....
Just saw your post about your Mom! So glad she got the help she needed in time! Nice that you're still close enough to drive and help her out. Send her our wishes for a speedy recovery!
