Tips:

1. Use fresh ingredients: Fresh coconut, butter, and eggs will give your coconut mountains the best flavor and texture. 2. Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut before adding it to the batter will enhance its flavor and give the cookies a golden brown color. 3. Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. 4. Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: The cookies should be baked until they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. 5. Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: The cookies need to be completely cool before you frost them, otherwise the frosting will melt and run off.

Conclusion:

Coconut mountains are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy coconut filling and rich chocolate frosting, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give coconut mountains a try!
