These were wonderful. I did not have any coconut but they were still great. I will definitely make these again. Thanks for sharing.

So easy and so good!I made these for a bridal shower and everybody loved them.I didn't have enough white chocolate chips, so I threw in some milk chocolate ones too and they turned out great.Super and simple variation on the Dolly square recipe!!!

I have had these in my cookie cookbook for a long time. I finally got around to making them. WOW! These will make a great addition to any cookie tray. I would strongly suggest pressing the crumbs into the pan as mine were a little crumbly. Everyone loved them and asked for the recipe.
