From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Back in the day, a bar cookie called a "Hello Dolly" was all the rage. I was going through my Adelle Davis-Gayelord Hauser period at the time, so I never made the cookie for my family. That, however, never prevented me from sampling them when they appeared on someone else's table. The cookies were packed with an assortment of chips, coconut and sweetened condensed milk, and those who liked "stuff" in their cookies loved them. When I found this recipe in Taste of Home magazine, the old "Hello Dolly" came to mind. These drop cookies are very similar, but they are not quite clones. This is a moist, sweet confection that's packed with everything that's awful for you, so I know you're going to love them. They are simple to make, keep extraordinarily well and even I, who am not fond of sweet things, have to admit they are delicious. Here is how they are made.

Each ingredient by itself is so good, so mixed all together in a cookie would be fabulous!
