My son always wanted:
Upside Down German Chocolate Cake
1 cup Coconut
1½ cups chopped Pecans
1 German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 stick Butter, melted
1 lb. 10X Sugar
1 (8 oz.) package Cream Cheese, softened
Mix coconut and pecans
Sprinkle onto the bottom of greased 9 x 13” sheet pan
Mix cake mix according to box directions
Pour mix on top of coconut and pecans
Blend cream cheese, sugar and melted butter with a pastry blender
Teaspoon mixture over the top of the cake mix evenly
Bake at 300 degrees for one hour
Test with a toothpick for doneness
...until he found out that there was cream cheese in it. He has always been picky and just arbitrarily decided to eliminate cream cheese from his diet. Now he has decided that he's rather have shortbread cookies:
Shortbread Cookies
2-1/2 sticks Butter
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups All-Purpose Flour
Mix butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until well blended. Add salt and flour one cup at a time and mix until thoroughly blended.
Measure .08 ounces of batter on a scale, roll into a ball, and flatten on an ungreased cookie sheet with the bottom of a glass.
Bake in a 325 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on cookie sheet for five minutes. Remove cookies with a spatula onto a cooling rack.
Frost cookies and press into sprinkles. Let air dry several hours before putting into a container.
Makes 43 cookies
