Crispy Chocolate Chewies

I made these cookies and enjoyed them alot. After tasting them I decided you could use any flavor cake mix to make them. I got this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens. My nieces don't care for coconut, so I left it out and used Funfetti frosting. It was great!

1 (18.25 oz) pkg German chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup crisp rice cereal
1/4 cup flaked coconut
1 cup purchased coconut-pecan frosting
Flaked coconut, toasted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine dry cake mix, melted butter, milk and egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until well mixed. Stir in cereal and the 1/4 cup coconut. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minutee on cookie sheet. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Frost with the coconut-pecan frosting. Sprinkle cookies with toasted coconut. Makes about 40 cookies.
To Store: Layer unfrosted cookies between waxed paper in an airtight container, cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw cookies; frost and spinkle with coconut before serving.
