My grand-daughter sent me this recipe she says they are delicious. These cookies work very well using Splenda or Splenda for Baking,in place of the white sugar. (note, I have been trying different ways to cut down on sugar, using 2 tablespoons molasses in stead of the brown sugar works good and using the splenda for baking, I have also used all butter instead of shortening & butter with good results)

I made these today because I wanted something with coconuts :) Replaced half the flour with whole wheat flour (3/4 C rather than 1 C), cut down the white sugar by half and used sweetened coconut since that is what I had. They turned out very yummy! Will definitely be making them again!!! Thank you for a keeper.Reply
