I have made these cookies several times and have given them to others to eat. I have had nothing but positive comments about these cookies. The texture is lovely, the combination of flavors is such a nice spin from standard cookies. I used sweetened coconut and toasted it myself. I pressed my cookies down, but they were not as flat as Aida's. I use a medium cookie scoop when I make these. They freeze well too. A very hearty cookie!

I made these cookies after watching ask Aida. I did not have the trouble that the other reviews experienced. They turned out moist and chewy and remainded that way for several days. I did use sweetened coconut that I tosted myself, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. They were delicious and my family loved them! I will definatly make them again.

I made these cookies according to the recipe and found them to have OK flavor, but they were hard, even right out of the oven. The next day they were harder and very dry. I agree with the previous reviewer that if you want cookies with this flavor you should add the ingredients to your chocolate chip cookie recipe.

This was alright to me, they didn't flatten and the taste was too dull, just alright.

My husband and I saw this recipe of the Ask Aida yesterday morning and he as me to make them. B/c I could not find the toasted unsweeten coconut flakes, I used the sweeten coconut flakes and toasted them myself. The cookies came out great! They were moist and soft.

I added an extra egg since my eggs were medium and then pushed down on the dough after putting it on the cookie sheets. I also tested them after 15 minutes and found them firm enough to remove from the oven resulting in a moister softer cookie.

I agree with reviewers Judy and Lisa about the consistency of these cookies. They are very dense, they don't flatten out when cooked, and they harden up a lot the next day. But, the flavor combination is right on -- the toasted coconut, chocolate chips, oats, and hint of spices are awesome together. My recommendation is to add these ingredients to your favorite basic choc-chip cookie recipe, so you get the same flavors with a better cookie dough.

These cookies are very easy to make and yummy as well. I made them for my boyfriend yesterday and he loved them. If you aren't a big fan of cinnamon, you won't like these cookies.

I just finished eating these great cookies! Really liked the nutmeg, coconut, and pecan combination. I did a few changes, I used sweetened unroasted coconut, and I used the oatmeal I had which is a whole grain oatmeal. The cookies didn't flatten out like Aida's, rather remained in little mounds, but still great.

I don't understand the other reviews. Eaten right out of the oven they are just ok cookies - way too much nutmeg though.

Cover and let sit, next day these are like CONCRETE! Good birdfood, but not cookies.
Throwing this one away. Sorry
