• YUM!!!! Next time I'll try less coconut and thin out the chocolate.

• These are very good! I use a bit less coconut - I didn't find a need to thin the chocolate. The cookies didn't last 10 minutes once they were ready!

• I like to place a thin layer of the melted chocolate chips in the bottom of the cups of the muffin tin before placing the cookies in them. This creates a nice thin layer of chocolate on the bottom of the cookies. I also drizzle a little over the tops of the cookies as specified in your recipe. Thanks for the great recipe - I love em!.
