These were fantastic! I couldn't find vanilla baking chips so I put a cup of milk chocolate bits and a cup of white chocolate bits. They were delicious! I brought them to a party and they disappeared. The coconut was not overpowering at all for those that are skeptical of coconut. Great recipe. I put them in the fridge and then cut them the next day. My only complaint was that after the refrigeration part they were hard to cut. Worth it tho!

This was good, I think my pan was to small causing all the layers on top of the cookie to be much thicker then intendid. I was really looking forward to trying this recipe but when it was done I didnt find it that great. I belive if i tried it again which Im going to do I will like it much better knowing what I did wrong. Pretty good overall.
