Makes 1 dozen cookies (I got 13). Double the recipe by using nearly the full box of cake mix and doubling all other measurements.
•
1/4 cup butter (half of one stick), softened
•
1 large egg
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 cup yellow cake mix (this is a couple tablespoons shy of half an 18.25 ounce box ofcake mix)
•
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour* (range from 2 to 4 tablespoons)
•
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes
•
1/3 cup diced dried fruit mixture (I used flattened bananas, candied dried pineapple, golden raisins; all diced small. A “tropical fruit medley” would be perfect)
