These cookies are a bit crumbly, but they still taste good.

The cookies didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good these cookies were. I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but these cookies were the perfect balance of sweetness and coconut flavor.
