These sweet drop cookies are loaded with coconut and chocolate chips. Their crisp edges and soft centers add up to a perfect cookie.—Maria Regakis, Somerville, Massachusetts

I'm not a big fan of cookies, but I love this recipe! I usually make two batches - one I follow the recipe as it; the other, I substitute dried cranberries for the chocolate chips and substitute either chopped pecans or walnuts for the pecans.

I made a batch of these cookies for my husband to share with his co-workers. They paid me so many nice compliments on these tasty cookies. I will be sure to make these again since they were such a big hit!

I loved this recipe. I used white choc chips, may even try it with macadamia nuts next time. They were wonderful warm right out of the oven! Thank you for sharing! ~bettina_bettina_TX
