My cookies spread and flattened out. They tasted like a chocolate chip cookie with coconut added to it. Nothing memorable.

These are pretty good but the almond extract is too overpowering. Next time I will cut the almond extract in half so to better balance the different flavors.

My new favorite cookie!

Bland & the almond extract a tad over powering with smell

This isn't a very pretty cookie but it does taste very good! I found that I had to watch them very closely- they get overdone in the blink of an eye. I also ended up rotating my cookie sheet half way through the baking time for more uniform cookies.

Really loved these cookies! They are a bit expensive to make, but well worth it!

DELICIOUS! Simple to make and oh-so-good. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips because that's what I keep in my pantry. My husband agreed that this was definitely a keeper!

Very disappointing. Bland. Thought they might taste like angel food cake. The coconut and chocolate chips were barely discernable.

These were terrific. I have added them to my favorites list. The almond, coconut and milk chocolate make them a sure fire winner.

These were took cake-like for me. I prefer a chewy cookie.

Sounds absolutely delicious! Could you use self-rising flour?

These cookies are more than good they are so flavorful. Chocolate, coconut and almonds, like an Almond Joy in a cookie. Crisp on the bottom and soft in the middle. After making them at home, made them for an office party and they were a big hit. Did not modify it, did not see the need to. I have to control myself from eating too many.
