I doubled the recipe and used shredded coconut instead of flaked because it was all I had. My family loved them. A double batch almost disappeared in an evening. They're very soft and chewy and great for dunking in milk.

I had a coconut candle burning and it made me hungry for something coconut- had all the ingredients so I tried this and they are wonderful! While they are thin, I did not find them exceptionally so- and even several days later they were still soft and chewy! Left them in about 12 minutes- at 11 min they were still hard to take off the pan, the extra min or so really helped. Love this recipe- very easy.

These were fine - not the best cookies I've ever had...I did add white chocolate chips to the batter. I think next time I would add semi-sweet chocolate chips instead for a little more flavor. My cookies came out quite thin - I read from another review that this might be caused by older baking soda - it might be time for me to get a new box! Also, I would recommend greasing your cookie sheet even though the recipe says "ungreased."

Very good cookies! I added semi-sweet chocolate chips and they turned out great. If you use sweetened coconut flakes use less sugar.

Very good cookies! Chewy and not to sweet like i thought they'd come out. Didn't have brown sugar so i substituted by mixing 1/2 cup of white sugar with 1 tablespoon of dark brown corn syrup. They turned out great!

I don't normally like thin cookies, but the flavor of these is delicious, and I really enjoyed them. They came out a bit crispy on the edges and chewy in the centers. They were a nice change from the "puffier" cookies I normally make.

Very yummy. I think next time I try these I will use nuts. Other that that, the cookies were great. Very sweet and chewy.

These are light, and very tasty. My picky eaters gobbled them up! I think I will try nuts mixed in next time, that would be great too. Thank you for a wonderful, easy cookie recipe!

I love these cookies, and I make them all the time because they are so simple to make. They're really good with some nuts tossed in too. Even people who usually don't like coconut love this recipe!

Oh man these are good! I only had sweetened coconut on hand, so I cut down on the sugars by half cup and that worked out well. I also used half butter/half shortening and doubled the vanilla. Everyone loved these- they are my new favorite cookie. Thank you for sharing this gem of a recipe!

Awesome. I used 1 teaspoon of vanilla instead of 1/2, and also used FRESH grated coconut. Turned out really great, and tasted even better the second day. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

This is a coconut masterpiece! This cookie is so chewy and moist, the flavor is very sophisticated. I followed the directions exactly except I doubled the vanilla extract. 10 mins wasn't enough as the bottoms were still too moist, so I put it in for another 2 mins - the end result was crispy edges and a chewy center. I didn't have a cookie scoop so I just made tablespoon sized balls which I slightly flattened on the cookie sheet. The cookies did spread out to nice rounds when baked.

This cookie is so well received by everyone that loves coconut. I bake these about once a month for our church and there is always an empty platter to take home. I tried adding extra flour and didn't care for them as well. If I have dried pineapple available I chop up and add about 1/2 cup (YUMMY). Thank you for the great and easy recipe.

YUM-O....I thought these would be really plain...which was so wrong - they were just sweet enough & just enough coconut flavor...Also, when I first saw the mixed batter, I thought that we would be making only a few cookies....or just a bunch of small ones....One tsp or so really spreads out...making a cookie that is about 2 inches wide...My chocolate chip cooking loving husband really really loved these, too....Thank you & will make again Very simple.

This is everyone's favorite cookie that I make! These are the changes that I have developed and they turn out perfect every time (have made over 30 times). Double the recipe and add 1 t. coconut extract, 2/3 bag of white chocolate chips and 1 c. of macadamia nuts. I bake for 12 minutes. Not necessary to chill the dough. Incredible!
