1 small box coconut pudding mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Add chocolate chips, coconut and almonds (crush almonds slightly as you add them for smaller pieces) Drop by large teaspoonful's onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes, edges will just barely brown and center should still be soft to the touch!

PRIZE:
Thank you very much to Joanne Perron and Jonquil Junction for making this fun by providing one of her reversible aprons as a prize to the winner of the contest. Guys, this contest is for you too, you can win big points by giving this cute apron to the wife or girlfriend.
Raise your yolk covered hand if you have ever forgotten that egg you put in your pocket! You know who you are.
Jonquil Junction has the perfect solution! Its an Gathering/EGG apron. This reversible apron is like getting two aprons in one! Whether you are gathering eggs, veggies, clothes off the line, tools for your next farm, garden or craft project, or are simply gathering your thoughts so as not to forget them later on, this is the apron for you! Completely reversible, this apron has individual pockets for a dozen eggs on one side, with elastic at the top to hold them securely. On the other, a large pocket ( practically the size of the apron itself!) with access from either side with two large openings, to hold veggies, tools, clothes or clothes pins, whatever you need to tote with you! (don’t forget to tuck in a pen and paper so you can remember what you need to bring with you! ) Apron measures 15 1/2 inches from waist to bottom, 22 inches wide at bottom and has generous ties!
