I made this for my child's 2nd grade class Luau party. The kids love it and it wasn't too sweet. For half of the batch, I sprinkled coconut flakes before baking them. The coconut batch was delicious and beautiful. The toasted coconut flakes looked nice on top, and the taste went well with the rest of the ingredients.

This definately has a WONDERFUL hawaiian taste. These were easy to make, but the winner is the flavor ! Made recipe with no adjustments, and the combo of the vanilla and lemonjuice is a winner.
