How To Make halo cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Mix well, drop by tsp onto Pam sprayed cookie sheet.
  • Step 3
    Bake at 5 - 6 minutes depending upon your oven. Cookies will be white, if they turn brown they will be too dry. Remove from cookie sheet immediately & place on wax paper. Store in airtight container.
  • Step 4
    JUST A THOUGHT: I wonder if using the raspberry pop & the coconut....if it would taste like Hostess Zingers.....hmmm I'll just have to find out....
  • Step 5
    RASPBERRY OR STRAWBERRY POP: Combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice & orange juice in 2 qt saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 7 - 10 minutes, or until raspberries are defrosted & sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Process raspberry mixture in food processor or blender until smooth. Strain through fine mesh sieve into 4 C measure. Discard seeds. Use 2 Tbsp of raspberry mixture to every cup of club soda.
