I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for chocolate chips. The cookies were still delicious!

I'm not a fan of coconut, but these cookies were still really good. The dough was so good that it made up for the coconut flavor.

These cookies were a hit! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a mini muffin tin and they were the perfect size. I will definitely be making these again.
