A subtle change from regular sugar cookies, I chopped up the coconut to make it easer to cut out. You can make a simple frosting from powdered sugar, milk, and some coconut extract to go with them!

I ADDED ANOTHER TEASPOON OF VANILLA AND ANOTHER TEASPOON OF COCONUT EXTRACT. LIGHT BROWNED MY COCONUT WITH BUTTER AND A HEAPING TABLESPOON OF COCONUT CREAM. TASTES ALMOST LIKE DRAKES COOKIES

very buttery, but a tad too much salt I will cut it back the next time I make these. but I will make them again. I made the rolls a little to large around and only got 2 dozen.

Baker beware! These cookies are addicting! I made the mistake and tried the dough... the only thing that got me to stop eating it was knowing how much raw egg I would be consuming! These cookies are second ONLY to dark chocolate covered macaroons.

these came out fantastic!! I made the dough (no mixer, all hand stirring) and put in the fridge till the next night. I baked 1/2 on silver trays and 1/2 on pampered chef. They all were delicious. My husband preferred the ones on the silver baking trays -- a little less crunchy. WIll definitely make again!!

They taste like a coconut sugar cookie. Will definitely make again but will adjust oven temperature to 350 degrees.

3 1/2 stars really. My cookies were not light and airy or as melt in your mouthy as I was hoping. ;-) They were rather tough and chewy. I think this might be my fault.....after creaming together the butter and sugar with mixer, I then mixed in the egg, vanilla / coconut extract and then the flour / coconut. So rather than STIRING as recipe said to do at the egg / extract stage, I kept MIXING. I am no Alton Brown, but I think by mixing I changed the whole DNA of this cookie! Not sure. They are edible but not the texture I was hoping for. UPDATE! I baked more of these but this time cut a lot thinner and they came out crispy and to me they were way better this way - still probably won't be making these again.

A nice mild cookie, very light flavor. I baked them at 350 and they still came out a little too crunchy for my taste, next time will make them bigger as the larger ones were more chewy. Also, I did not have coconut extract so made my own: soaked 1T of coconut in 3t vanilla for a few hours and then strained out the soaked coconut and used the vanilla in the cookies.

I love these cookies exactly as the recipe is written. This year i added a cup of chocolate chips, a cup of white chocolate chips, and a half cup of chopped walnuts and created the best crispy, tender Christmas cookie ever!
