These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I had trouble getting the cookies to brown evenly. I had to bake them for a few extra minutes, and they still weren't as brown as I would have liked.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really liked these cookies. The coconut flavor is subtle, and the cookies are perfectly crispy and chewy.

I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter, and it really enhanced the flavor of the cookies.

I tried making these cookies with a gluten-free flour blend, and they turned out great! They were just as crispy and chewy as the original recipe, and the coconut flavor was still there.

These cookies are delicious! I love the combination of coconut and wheat germ. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

These cookies were a hit with my family! They're perfectly crispy and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The coconut flavor is subtle but noticeable, and the addition of wheat germ gives them a nice nutty flavor.
