I can see why this is a favorite, excellent recipe. I cut the sugar back to 8 ozs and used unsweetened, medium coconut. Don't do what I did! I used lightly greased floured Foil on the cookie sheet and Uh Oh It was a little tought getting them off. On a solid cookie sheet it would have been no problem, Thanks Eve

for the flavor i would probably give it a 5-star rating but for texture a 1-star. but i must have done something wrong - these didn't work at all for me. they didn't thicken and there were no mounds, just cookies as thin as paper. so i poured the remaining mixture into a pie plate and baked it. they were very chewy and had a great flavor. i'm not sure what i did do wrong - but unless i figure it out i probably would not make them again.

This recipe didn't work for me. 8oz coconut is hard to know in cups, and is lighter than sugar in weight. It isn't direct, 8oz is equal to 1 cup...depends on what is in the cup So, of you don't have a scale... your's will end up like mine a pile of goop. I added more and more coconut, but still they were flat. Not sure how the other reviewers figured it out? Thanks tho'!
