Adding an egg to the coconut mixture makes it stick together better.Bake about 5 to 10 minutes longer. three stars

Take it off of your list, I consider myself a good cookie makers but this
was awful. I followed directions to the tea, it was awful, and as Sarah for N>C said with the time and m oney spent it really frustrated me. My can of evap milk was 10 oz and it still was
runny and could not eat them. Please remove

Very easy and good. Ithis is the first recipe that had me mix the coconut w/ the milk, and the coconut didn't dry out, which was a plus! Also, instead of melting the chocolate chips, I just sprinkled them over the top of the coconut/milk mixture and baked it all together. They turned out wonderful! five stars

Very easy and delicious. Made them without the slivered almonds. They are improved if refrigerated. five stars

Would not make this again.
Spreading chocolate over flaky coconut and almonds was impossible and ruined the pan. I'm extremely frustrated with the time and money spent. Also, more exact measurements would be nice - there is more than one size "can" of evaporated milk at my grocery store. one star
