I think this may be the recipe you are looking for, but I think it is more of a
candy than a cookie. The recipe is in the Y.W.C.A. of Lima, Ohio Cook Book.
Chocolate Covered Mashed Potato Balls
3/4 cup mashed potatoes
1 Lb. cocoanut
1 Lb. powdered sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
Mix and form into small balls. Refridgerate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Dip in
melted chocolate (semi-sweet chocolate bits melted in a double boiler).
Place on wax paper to cool.
I do hope this is the recipe that you are looking for. Betty E.
