Coconut Funfetti Cookies

Sweets

14 Apr












When I was growing up, I would make “Better than Boys” cookies which I named myself. We have all heard of “Better than Sex” cake, which I of course thought was extremely scandalous when I was young. The name I gave my cookies is much more PG.


 


I think these cookies are going to be a bigger hit with children mainly because most kids love the taste of Funfetti. They are really quick and easy to make so they could be great to make for children’s parties or an after school snack. They are very sweet but have a lot less sugar and fat than a lot of other cookies. There are other variations that would be fun to try with theses cookies as well. How cute would they be with Cadbury eggs on top for Easter? You can add other toppings or mix-ins to customize them. I think next time I will even add some coconut or almond extract.


 


I wanted to make a healthier version of my loved Better than Boys cookies. The original recipe calls for 1/3 cup vegetable oil which I replaced with applesauce. Cake mixes also used to have 18.9 ounces in them and now they have just over 15 ounces so I added coconut flour so they wouldn’t be runny. I get my coconut flour at Costco, but if you don’t have it on hand you can add normal white flour instead.

Printable recipe

Ingredients
1 Funfetti cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup applesauce
2/3 cup coconut flour
Sweetened coconut
Directions
1. Mix cake mix, eggs, flour and applesauce with a spoon in a bowl.
2. Using a spoon, scoop batter evenly onto two greased cookie sheets. I made 21 cookies.
3. Spray flat bottom of a cup lightly with cooking spray and smash cookies until they are a half inch thick, then top with desired amount of sweetened coconut flakes. 
4. Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes, or until edges become very lightly browned. The cookies will be very soft but will harden a bit after they cool. Do not overcook them or the texture won’t be very moist. 
5. Cool on cooling racks then store in airtight container.

I posted this the other day on my IG stories and s I posted this the other day on my IG stories and so many of you were like, “😅 Good to hear!!” So I’ll say it again for those of you who need it.

My twins are almost 5 (in July) and it is SO.MUCH.EASIER 😭 at this age 🤣🤣🤣 Tyler and I actually cannot even believe it. Traveling with them is actually 100% FUN and not 100% exhausting like it was before 😂

So...if you need to hear it...you’ve got this. You’ll make it through the insane toddler stage.

Every day is a gift AND it’s really hard and I’m here to tell you that it gets SO MUCH EASIER! 👏🏻

JUST BECAUSE IT’S HARD DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT GRATEFUL!

To all the twin moms who came before me and said 5 was easier, you were right. And thank you 😂 #twinmom #momoftwins
“Mix a little foolishness with your serious plan “Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.” - Horace

For me, one of the best things in the world about being a mom is that they help me to remember the things I once knew, but forgot. Being fully present and accepting what is in the moment, being silly, getting SO EXCITED, and seeing the world with magic.

We all knew these things once. We just forgot a little. 💗💙 #parcellsundayselfie 4/11/21

What is your favorite thing you’ve learned from the beautiful children in your life?
The best part of this phase of life with little ki The best part of this phase of life with little kids is it’s like Team Parcell, you know? Our little group. We can go anywhere and do anything together and just be so happy and grateful that it’s us 4 together. 😭

This is what I want for all who want it. It’s why I absolutely love teaching the tools I do over at @thesliceofsun for women with infertility. They allow you peace of mind in this really hard trial. Why I LOVE you and understand those of you who are in the thick of it so much.

Feeling so grateful for the people in my life including all of you. What a wonderful world 🌎 #lovethesepeople #familyvacations

Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY Happy Easter! I’ve been thinking a lot about WHY I want to learn so much more about my Savior as I get older and I’ve decided it’s because I need Him more.

Children don’t have the voice of the adversary in their ears all the time. We do.

My Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ SAVES me from the chaos. He is the peace where it doesn’t make sense for peace to exist.

He knows me and cares for me with a perfect love. The only thing I can slightly compare it to is the love I have for my children. A love so big that forgiveness is possible over and over...and over again.

A love so big He was willing to give His life so we could be saved.

I’ll never be able to repay that debt but I’ll spend every day I have in gratitude and use His atonement that He made for me. For each of us. It will not have been in vain for me.

God be thanked for the matchless gift of His Divine Son 🙏 He is risen! #heisrisen #comeuntochrist #easter2021
Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and Bluebird day up at Snowbird! It was 70 degrees and we kept trying to figure out to take off layers while also protecting ourselves if we fell 🤣 This is my mom and step dad - my ski buddies who I always go skiing with!
