Very good! Nicely moist and soft cookies. (I forgot the coconut though.)These are quite chocolaty. It gave me 2 dozen of nicely sized cookies.

I halved the recipe because I hardly ever want that many cookies at once, and got 16 good-sized cookies. I can't remember whether I did the conversion, or just said the heck with it and baked them at 350F; anyway, they were done after 13 min. at that temperature. They are very tasty and certainly easy to make. The only thing I didn't care for about them was the coconut. There isn't really enough to make them crunchy, just enough to have dry, chewy strings scattered through the cookies. Maybe it was the coconut I used, but next time I'm going to leave it out entirely, and I'm betting I'll like them even better.

I just finished making these great chocolate cookies. They are delicious and such a comfort food. I followed the directions to the T and it was easy, tasty and a keeper. I got 3 dozen cookies.
