I had some trouble getting the meringue topping to stiffen, but I eventually got it right. The cookies were worth the effort though! They were so light and fluffy, and the chocolate and almond flavors were divine.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of coconut, so I substituted almond extract for the coconut extract. The cookies were still delicious. I'll definitely be making them again.
