I made a few adjustments. I used whole wheat flour instead of white and increased the baking powder to nearly 2 teaspoons instead of 1 1/2 teaspoons to compensate for the heavier flour. I also used 2 teaspoons of almond extract instead of 1 teaspoon and used 1 1/2 cups of coconut instead of 1/2 cup. I then used a small scoop to form the balls instead of rolling them with my hands. The cookies really spread out in the oven and came out larger than I expected. While they were still warm I rolled them up to look like Lady's Fingers. They look great and taste really good! I would definately make this recipe again and also use my alterations!

These are amazingly good cookies; my search for the definitive "almond" cookie is over! I used 2 teaspoons of almond extract and added one cup each of coconut and toasted, finely chopped almonds. My additions required a little more baking time, 12 minutes at 350. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, loved it!!

These were very good, I baked a couple of minutes longer than recipe called for, they turned out crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I put in a little more coconut than called for and added 1/3 cup of pecan pieces. A tasty cookie.

These cookies taste pretty good. I followed the recipe just like it was written but added a little coconut extract too. They took forever to bake, and ended up chewy.

Will make this recipe again as it was very good. I followed the recipe except added 1/3 cup of coarsely grounded almonds as suggested by previous review. Yummy!

My batter turned out sticky. Couldn't roll them out into balls so I just got the teaspoon out and dropped them on the cookie sheet. Turned out well. I did increase the flaked coconut by a lot (I looove coconut) and I added more of the almond extract (I just love the smell). I scaled the recipe down just for a trial run. It would probably be better if I followed the recipe for the 36 servings. Will definitely try this again.

These were wonderful tasting cookies and incredibly quick and easy to make. They turned out perfect and were gobbled up quickly by everyone. The only thing I noticed was that the recipe doesnt tell you how much salt to add. I added about 1/2 tsp or less, and they tasted great. They might be even better with some toasted almonds or sliced almonds added as well.

These were very yummy. My hubby gave himself a tummy ache eating a bunch of these cookies instead of his dinner.

The cookies are very tasty. The only problem is in the instructions, it says to add salt but does not tell you how much. I guess and just added a pinch (1/4 of a teaspoon) and they came out great. I also added chocolate chips to the second batch which was yummy.
