I made a batch of Ambrosia Cookies on Thursday night. Unfortunately, they came out far too sweet. I used dried pineapple, fresh cherries, orange marmalade, coconut, and mini marshmallows. Each of the ingredients is really sweet in its own right. But in combination, that sweetness is multiplied...by a factor of 10. In other words, they were not bring-in-able.
Oops! Some tweaking is in order.
I think that maybe some sour cream will help balance the flavor.
They may be too sweet, but they sure look yummy!

It would be a shame to throw these out! Could you crumble them over ice cream or plain yogurt?

Hi, Mumma. I still have them in the fridge. Maybe I'll give them another try.

Hi, Lorraine. How true! I just might try crumbling them on top of ice cream or yogurt. I still have the batch in a baggie in the fridge, so I haven't given up on them entirely. :-)
