These cookies are buttery and chewy with extreme coconut flavor, they are a sweet cookie, for a less sweeter taste you may reduce the white sugar by 2 tablespoons if desired, for some reason these are not as good if you double the recipe into one bowl, to double I would suggest to make two separate recipes into two bowls ---if you are a coconut-lover you will love these, I have made these cookies many times, they are very good! --- serving is only estimated and recipe may be doubled successfully.
