  • Re: Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

    They were good, but they spread out way too much and all joined together so that they aren't really cookie-shaped, but squarish and very thin. Maybe there is too much butter and that made them melt outwards too much? I'm going to try them again, but this time I am going to try putting in more flour to stiffen them up a bit.
