TROPICAL HAWAIIAN SNOWBALLS (HAWAIIAN-STYLE RUSSIAN TEA COOKIES)



Tropical Hawaiian Snowballs (Hawaiian-Style Russian Tea Cookies) image

These delicious cookies are like snowballs in that when they are left out they disappear quickly. No, they don't melt, but it seems that they attract little menehune (Hawaiian elves) that just love to gobble them all up when you're not looking! Cooking time includes 30 minutes for cookies to cool off. Also feel free to play around with the extracts. I have used pineapple extract with coconut extract, coconut and banana, and butter, rum and vanilla. All have come out well!

  • Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until slightly golden.
  • While still warm, (not hot, not cold) roll through powdered sugar.

TICKLED PINK TROPICAL ISLAND "ICED TEA"



Tickled Pink Tropical Island

Based on the classic Long Island Iced Tea cocktail, but with a tropical twist from the guava nectar! Pretty and pink, and not overly sweet. A splash of club soda adds a nice tickle, and keeps the drink from being dangerously potent. You can double the liquor and decrease the juices and soda amounts, to your individual preference. Serve in a tall glass garnished with fresh lime wedges, and add a pink straw for sipping. Very refreshing! P.S. This is also great made with Malibu rum! Adapted from an internet cocktail recipe site.
