Rainforest Cookies image

This came from a cooking newsgroup I lurk in occasionally. Since it features coconut, and that's our ingredient of the month, I thought it was a timely recipe. They re soft butter cookies filled with all the tropical goodies, pineapple, macadamia nuts, and of course, coconut.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these cookies came out flat and hard.

These cookies are really good, but they're a bit too rich for me. I can only eat one or two at a time.

These cookies didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I overbaked them.

I found the dough to be a bit too sticky. I had to add more flour in order to get it to roll out properly.
