I did not add cocoa but added 2 oz sliced almonds. The cookies had a wonderful chewy texture but could have had more coconut. I didn't like the almost baking soda-like after taste.

Not sure what happened but I lined the cookie sheet with foil as instructed and the bottoms burned! With the second batch I turned the oven down a bit, didn't line the baking sheets and they turned out much better. I do agree to add a bit more coconut since the angel food flavor overpowered the batter.

These came out really great. However, in order to have them a bit brown around the edges, I had to cook them at least 12 minutes. Otherwise they are really really white. Also, next time I will add at least another cup of coconut. I really like coconut macaroons and they didn't have enough in them. I also chose not to use the cocoa or the icing. I will make these again.
