these were good, a little time consuming, mine didn't hold their rounded shape like the pic so when they flattened they weren't as moist as what i thought they should be. until i told people what was on them (the frosting) they wouldn't touch them! lol...

Made this cookie the past two years - kids absolutely loved them! Easy and quick to make. A new family favorite!

Cooking time needs to increase just a little as mine came out too chewy for my taste. I had a little trouble getting the coconut to stick so I sprinkled some more on when they came out. Otherwise this is a simple recipe which went over big at a cookie exchange.
