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

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!

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

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.

The cookies were easy to make, but they have to be refrigerated to make them firm. They do not remove from the pan easily to serve them. The cookies are delicious, but they are not worth the hassle of trying to remove from the pan, or the time they take to make them firm in the refrigerator.

These are so excellent, the measurements are off a little I find but they are awesome.
