A delicious cookie. I had to substitute for the coconut due to Kat's allergies. All I could think to use was miniature marshmallows and they worked surprisingly well. Next time I will try pecans instead of walnuts. I was short on time and did not bake the first layer separately. They came out slightly chewy on the edges and soft in the middle but still held their shape. Very nice. Thanks for a great bar cookie.

i promised DD we could make cookies today but forgot i was out of sugar. she was pretty upset and really wanted to make cookies so i found this recipe and actually had just about everything on hand. and OH MY THESE ARE GOOD! we're munching on a couple of these now and WOW! very well named LOL. we made them pretty much as directed except omited the nuts (i was out) and added chocolate chips (standard request from DH). the first layer was a little hard to spread in the pan even w/ oiled hands, so i sprayed some wax paper w/ oil and put that on top. then just smoothed out an even layer as easy as can be. these are pretty rich but i cut them in 1-1 1/2" squares and along w/ a glass of milk or cup of coffee they're perfect. next time i'll be sure to use the nuts and will probably keep the chocolate chip addition. it's pathetic but if there's no chocolate in a desert DH isn't a happy camper LOL!
