Reviews
Made these cookies for my daughter's wedding and they are delicious. They do well freezing also. I will make them again & again.
Made these cookies as directed and they are fantastic! Only 1/2 of the family eats coconut, they do not know what they are missing. I did chill the dough overnight before baking. Will definitely make again.
I love baking cookies and this cookie is one of my family's favorites.
Great cookies with just the right amount of sweetness. Others have mentioned flour issues but I haven't had any issues with this recipe. It is good as it is.
I have not made these yet. I plan on doing so later today. QUESTION, when freezing these, dp uou frost them before, or aftrr you thaw them?
Excellent! Have made them several times and always get rave reviews! Freeze nicely also! Thanks for the great recipe!
This recipe was not good,but not too bad. The flour is way off , I had to add about 1/2 cup more. It was very wet. The flavor was very blah. I will not make these againThe cooky was soft. The sour cream is too much and not enough flour.Question the amount of fat. more butter and l ess sourcream may h ave solved the consistency of this dough.

This was a winner with everyone who ate them. Already getting requests to make them again from co-workers and family!
I was slightly disappointed as the previous reviews were so great. They were "good, " but am wondering if they would be "wonderful" if using all butter & no shortening. They turned out well & I made them with no changes. Hubby seems to like them!
