I was a bit wary to try this recipe as I'm not much of a coconut fan (and I'm from Maui!Went But when I saw Ina make it, it looked too darn good! I am so happy I made these cookies, they are super yummy! I think it's because the coconut gets nice & brown &I toasted. My family & co-workers absolutely love them! I didn't have raspberry jam in the house, so I made it with strawberry-guava jam!!! Mmmmmm! Thank you Ina for another delicious recipe!

Soooo gooood. Forget the diet. I even want perfume that smells like this. I didn't have any vanilla extract, so I used vanilla sugar instead. No problem.

These cookies are amazing. We (my 3yo and I made them with a combo of unsweetened coconut on half (I think better because not as overly sweet and sliced almonds on the other half. Saving half of the dough to make more later this week!

fantastic cookies! I used raspberry seedless preserves and they were so yummy. I am not the best baker, so I was slightly nervous about attempting such a recipe, but it was easy enough and they really came out delicious. My grandmother used to make a similar cookie rolled in nuts rather than coconut and I think I may try that next time. The only trouble I had was that the dough was very crumbly - too crumbly to deal with. After quickly reading some of the previous comments, I added another half-stick of softened butter and it totally solved the problem. Can't wait to try them again!

The first time I made these, I followed the directions perfectly, and they only turned out okay. They were too big and very crumbly (yes, I left the butter out overnight. The second time, I used a tsp more of vanilla and salt, added the egg yolk, and made 60 cookies and they were excellent! The proportion of jam to cookie was much better and they were much easier to work with. The third time I made these cookies I used salted butter and omitted the salt, again using the egg yolk and even more vanilla. Again made 60+ cookies. Now they are perfect. This is a a great starter recipe that with a few changes is even better.

I was a little nervous reading all the comments regarding the dryness of the dough. Glad I took the chance!!! I left the butter out over night like some suggested. The reciepe came out perfect. No dryness at all. The dough was vey easy to work with. Next time I might leave some of the cookies without then jam the coconut really makes the cookie. A keeper as is!

Delicious buttery taste! I've never found the dough to be dry--they always turn out great. Try experimenting with other types of jam. Pineapple jam is my favorite, as it goes well with the coconut.
