I had a little trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have mixed the dough too much.

I had a little trouble getting the coconut to stick to the cookies. I think I might have used too much butter in the recipe.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using half the amount of sugar next time.
