Coconut Raspberry Cookies image

With their yummy raspberry centers, these chewy cookies will disappear from your picnic table fast. My mother used to make these, and they were always my favorite. Now my family enjoys them, too. Store the cooled cookies in a sealed container to keep them soft. -Cheryl Giroux, Amherstburg, Ontario

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I loved these cookies. The raspberry flavor really balances out the coconut.
