These were great, I crusted them with some extra coconut before I slid them into the oven, the slightly browned coconut on top gave them a visually pleasing extra touch! Delicious cookies! Will make again.

These cookies are delicious. I added a touch of cinnamon for a different twist. Yummy!

Yum yum yum! These are easy and delicious. They work well as drop cookies too, if you're too eager to wait! <3
