Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Mix flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and coconut together in a bowl. Set aside. Beat the margarine, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla extract and water with the last egg. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Add more flour if the dough becomes too sticky.
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Make an indentation in each cookie using a 1/2 teaspoon size measuring spoon. Fill each cookie with the raspberry jam.
- Bake in the preheated oven until slightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

COCONUT RASPBERRY CREAM PIE
The inspiration for this dessert came from a Ralph's Famous Italian Ices flavor called Coconut Raspberry Tart. My husband came home from the Italian ice stand and raved about the flavor so much, we decided to recreate the same idea in pie form. I love coconut cream pie, but the typical buttery crust and rich custard are entirely too heavy for a health-conscious diet. This version is lighter and fluffier, but most importantly, equally as delicious. The raspberry layer adds the perfect tart element to balance out the sweetness of the filling. * PLEASE NOTE: the measurements in this recipe are for a mini 7" pie pan (serves 4). For a standard 9" pie pan, simply double the recipe (serves 8).

Tips:
- For a refreshing and flavorful Italian soda, use fresh raspberries or strawberries. If using frozen berries, thaw them completely before using.
- For a sweeter soda, add more sugar-free sweetener to taste. You can also use a flavored sparkling water, such as lemon-lime or orange, for a different flavor variation.
- To make a vegan Italian soda, use coconut milk instead of dairy milk. You can also use a dairy-free sparkling water, such as seltzer or club soda.
- For a fun and festive Italian soda, garnish with a wedge of lime or lemon, a few berries, or a sprig of mint.
