These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try adding an extra egg next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I loved these cookies. The raisins added a nice sweetness and the coconut was subtle.

I don't usually like coconut, but these cookies were an exception. They were so good that I ate three of them in one sitting.

These cookies were a bit dry, but I think that was because I overbaked them. I'll try them again and bake them for less time.

These cookies were absolutely delicious! The coconut and raisins were a perfect combination, and the cookies were perfectly chewy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
