These went over pretty well at our house. One member doesn't like coconut but managed to "choke" down 3 cookies (back to back). I don't know if my coconut was old or what, but felt these were just a tad dry. Will try again with fresher coconut. Recipe was easy to follow and what's not to love about bar cookies? Made for PAC Fall 2008.

I hail from Wisconsin...God's Country. Where the air is clean, the scenery beatiful and the people are friendly. Come visit me! I am self-employed so I have a lot of time for my two favorite hobbies....motorcycling and cooking. We logged 21,000 miles last year. We entertain our 7 children and their families frequently so we BBQ alot. I love all type of cookbooks...but, especially regional church or organizational cookbooks...they know how to cook!! I love "peasant food"....meat, potatoes, etc. and chocolate. I am allergic to broccoli (even tho' I love it) . This site is awesome....some great cooks hang out here!
