I'm allergic to coconut. Do you think I could substitute another ingredient?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookie bars didn't look anything like the picture. They were flat and dense.

These cookie bars were easy to make, but they didn't turn out very well. They were dry and crumbly.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I actually really liked these cookie bars. The coconut flavor really masked the zucchini taste.

These cookie bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

These zucchini coconut cookie bars were a hit! They were moist, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. I loved the combination of zucchini and coconut, and the streusel topping added a nice crunchy texture.
