Would not make this again.
I'm disappointed with this cookie. I followed the recipe but there's something wrong with the texture. I thought I did it wrong on the first batch so I made 3 more batches and all of them came so bad. It's so dry and crumbly :(

I just made this cookies and they are wonderful! I love cookies made with powdered sugar - the texture is always great. These are simple cookies, yet truly yummy. I love them with the coconut!
