Absolutely delish! I covered mine with piped chocolate and that added a needed chocolate fix I had a craving for, but the cookies were fantastic on their own! I absolutely loved these, and they're now a family favorite; even among my boyfriend, who doesn't really like coconut! Thanks for a keeper :)

Great cookies. I used air bake cookie sheets and baked for 12 minutes. They were a lovely golden brown. But, the next time I make them, I will mix the coconut in by hand. I use a hand mixer and low speed was not strong enough and med. speed through the dough all over the cabinet. However, live and learn. My DH has been on a trip and these will be his welcome home for he loves coconut. Don't we all?
