I had some trouble getting the twists to stay twisted. I think I might need to chill the dough for longer next time.

These twists are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really liked these twists. The lemon flavor is strong enough to balance out the coconut.
