So delicious and pretty! They were a bit more work than cookies I usually make, but they are well worth the effort. I used Hero raspberry jam. I warmed it in the microwave and strained out the seeds. One jar was the right amount. I also used my cookie scoop. Next time I will chop the coconut into smaller pieces in hopes that it will lay flatter on the cookie. Thank you!

These are just terrific - I love them, and they always get rave reviews. The instructions to weigh the cookie portions are very helpful - I get exactly the number of cookies I expect.

Look NO further!!! I don't even LIKE coconut! These are buttery goodness from heaven. When I saw the episode on tv I knew they would be a winner. I just froze my second batch tonight!
