Luckily for the plethora of coconut inspired cookies within Martha's collection my dad was in town again last weekend. While I abhor coconut and avoid it at all costs my father loves the fruit, therefore I cooked up this batch.
I followed the recipe exactly for a change and made the suggested yield of 5 dozen cookies. They looked delicious and yet I couldn't bring myself to try one.
My father, grandmother, and mother all exclaimed that they were delicious. My boyfriend couldn't tell that coconut was included in the cookie, which I assume is a nice thing, but still could not convince me to try one. He also commented that the cookies were crumbly, and then proclaimed that they were "nothing out of the ordinary."
I also made the Double Chocolate Brownies again, this time in mini muffin pans so that they would resemble the popular supermarket two-bite brownies to bring to a movie in Bryant Park. This recipe continues to be versatile and delicious. The only complaint is that coarse salt often provides a bite that is too salty. Next time I make this recipe, I will switch to regular table salt.
Until the next batch,
Alissa

i'm no chemist...and i didn't read the post or anything...but judging strictly from the picture, i'm pretty sure the cookie would taste tons better if you mixed the coconut, walnuts and chocolate INTO the cookie, but i applaud you for the creativity. It's kinda like the lunchable version of pizza...as opposed to real pizza...you know, how you just kinda have to balance everything on top of the cracker. I get it.
