These were a great choice to make with my kids as it was all prepared in ten minutes but my impression from reading the description was that this would be a soft chewy cookie but really this was more like cake which was fine but not for a cookie.It was still very tasty though so if I were to be making a raspberry coconut cake I'd definitely would rate it higher. Also I tried it with less almond extract and more because of the previous review; I definitely don't recommend increasing the almond extract.

These cookies are nice & soft & delicious! The almond flavour didn't come through as strong as I expected it to. They reminded me a lot of Voortman's raspberry turnover cookies.
