Overall, these cookies had a great taste, AFTER I adjusted my flour amount. I added about 1/2 cup more flour than the recipe listed, as the first 2 pans came out extremely flat (they tasted okay, but spread too much and were paper thin). After I added more flour they baked up like a cookie ought to and were really yummy. Try adding diced dried pineapple, in addition to the coconut! I put the pineapple in mine and called them "pina colada cookies" and the family loved them. And after reading some reviews, I also used double the amount listed for coconut, for a stronger coconut flavor. I will probably put these into our "line up" of cookies.

I loved these! I didn't have Rice Krispies so I crushed up Corn Chexs instead. I can't imagine how they could have been better. These may be the best cookies I've ever had!

My two-year-old son loves to make cookies, so I am constantly on the look-out for kid-friendly recipes that I can tweak a little for small children. I used unsweetened applesauce instead of butter. Because of this I had to add a touch more flour. I also cut the sugar by 1/4 and they were still sweet enough to be a nice treat. Thanks for the recipe.

Simple and easy comes out tasty every time. I added chocolate chips to half of the last batch I made and whoa what a hit. Like have almond joys in cookie form. Perfect.

I just baked these for a picnic, as I had all the ingredients in the pantry, and they seemed simple to put together. I agree with one of the other reviewers who said they needed some salt! I added a 1/2 tsp to the dough after tasting it, before baking, and it made a big difference. The cookies are a nice texture, and good, but next time I'm thinking they would be even better with some nuts or white chocolate chips (or both!) added. It's a good basic recipe.

Hi I didn't have rice cereal. Too far away from town, so I used Special K almond & cranberry cereal instead. Just crushed the flakes. Really good. I will try it your way when I get a chance to get the rice cereal. Nancy

These are awesome! And yes it helps to roll them into balls to keep them from being so flat. I also left out the rice crispy cereal and they were still very good!
