Ugly Face Cookies
Ugly Face Cookies are a fun, hearty treat combining coconut, pecans or chocolate chips, and brown sugar for a chewy, flavorful snack perfect for casual gatherings or kids' parties.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix brown sugar and Bisquick.
- Add eggs and oil.
- Beat by hand until most of the lumps have disappeared.
- Pour the batter into a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
- Let cool; cut into squares.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter instead of cooking oil. If you're not a fan of coconut, you can substitute it with dried fruit or omit it altogether. Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness of the brown sugar. Make sure to mix the batter just until combined to keep the cookies chewy, similar to the texture found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect on their own but can be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also work well as a snack with coffee or tea. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a slice of Cherry Or Apple Crumb Dessert for a delightful dessert spread.
