THE only recipe I brought

Ever since Sister DuVall gave me this chocolate chip cookie recipe, I have used none other. I didn't know if I could get ingredients but I brought it anyway. Shortly after arriving, sweet friends from home sent us a care package with the magic ingredients - chocolate chips and coconut cream instant jello pudding. We have since found they are available here - especially the coconut cream pudding. We should have know: a tropical paradise with coconut trees. They love anything with coconut.

We found another MUST in the recipe - New Zealand butter. Umm, umm good!

I mix the dough, and freeze a few rolled balls in each bag. When Elder DaBell wants cookies, he pops those babies onto a cookie sheet, puts them in the oven, and viola piping hot cookies right from the oven. He's happy, I'm happy.

Now you too can throw all your old recipes away and use
