My mom made these dressy, sweet cookies for cookie exchanges when I was a little girl, letting me sprinkle on the almonds and coconut. They're so easy to fix that sometimes I can't wait 'til Christmas to make a batch. —Dawn Burns, Lake St. Louis, Missouri

Me and my family didn't really like these.. I've made similar squares and they were so delicious but no one really liked these ones. Will not be making these ones again

These are a hit whenever I make them for a group, and so easy!

These are awesome and so fast to make. They disappear instantly wherever I take them. I have been making these for a year already and always requested to bring them for events.

I've made this recipe several times now and it is a hit at our church dinners. Be sure to line the pan with foil and use a cookie sheet that has a lip all around the edges or you'll have a mess. Well worth the trouble - I always get requests for the recipe.
