These cookies were delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more chocolate chips to the dough.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The chocolate filling really balanced out the coconut flavor.

The cookies were easy to make, but the filling didn't turn out quite right. It was a bit too runny.

Great recipe! The cookies were delicious and looked beautiful. I did have to adjust the baking time a bit, but that could be because of my oven.
