Excellent cookie! Nice and crispy, yet chewy!! I used the Christmas rice crispies that I had leftover, which made them even more attractive to my kids!! A nice addition would be some nutmeg or allspice. Next time around, I'll cut the salt in half, but other than that-- superb!

I think I would cut back on the sugar if I make these again.

Wonderful recipe. The coconut doesn't overpower the taste. Everything is very nicely equal and it has a nice texture. DC loved them and kept coming back for more. My son exclaimed that they were the best cookies!
