Rainforest Cookies image

This came from a cooking newsgroup I lurk in occasionally. Since it features coconut, and that's our ingredient of the month, I thought it was a timely recipe. They re soft butter cookies filled with all the tropical goodies, pineapple, macadamia nuts, and of course, coconut.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would have liked them better if I had used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these cookies. They were soft and chewy with a nice flavor.

These cookies were good, but not great. They were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more butter.
