Nice rich coconut cookie recipe..

I just made these and they are really good. If you click on my first sentence you will be directed to allrecipes.com where I found the recipe. Very moist and chewy. You have to be careful not to burn them, make sure there are no stray coconut shreds sticking up and around the bottom or they will burn. I used parchment paper and had no problems. Also, I baked at 300 so they had time to toast to a nice golden color without burning. I also used 2 tsp vanilla and added 1 tsp almond extract. For some of them I turned them upside down and place 4 or 5 chocolate chips on the bottom and placed back into a warm oven, bottoms up (after the oven had been shut off) for about a min till the chips melted. I then spread the chocolate over the bottoms. It made less cleanup for me and worked as well as dipping. You could also top them with a hershey kiss too if you wanted. They were really nice. My Mom used to make the ones on the eagle brand can and I don't think those had any flour in them at all, I can't remember. Also, the amount of coconut is equivalent to a 14 ounce bag of coconut so you can just dump that in instead of measuring. I hope someone likes! I got 3 dozen out of this recipe, I used a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop so mine were smaller than the recipe makes them.
