Coconut Raspberry Cookies image

With their yummy raspberry centers, these chewy cookies will disappear from your picnic table fast. My mother used to make these, and they were always my favorite. Now my family enjoys them, too. Store the cooled cookies in a sealed container to keep them soft. -Cheryl Giroux, Amherstburg, Ontario

These cookies were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.
