These are sandwich cookies, filled with a double filling of raspberry preserves and white frosting. I'd never had these before, so I don't have anything to compare these to. But these are delicious! Cook time is for one sheet of cookies.

I've been making these cookies for years and they are always a hit. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I love the way the coconut and chocolate chips melt together in your mouth.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have used the wrong kind of chocolate chips. I'll try using a different type of chocolate chips next time.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have added too much sugar. I'll try using less sugar next time.

I love these cookies! They're so soft and chewy and the coconut flavor is amazing. I always have to hide them from my kids because they eat them all up so fast.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste, but I think I might have overbaked them. I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
