These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a nice coconut flavor. I think I would add a little bit more butter next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I liked the coconut flavor and the texture was nice and chewy. I would probably make them again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
