If you are looking for "fried coconut eggs" this is your recipe. There was absolutely no resemblance to a cookie whatsoever. It was a real mess. I added about a cup of flour to the mixture and it baked up like cookies (15 minutes) but then they were dry.
Not bad - I wonder if the author made a mistake in the recipe - the ingredients say 2 eggs but the instructions mention "the egg". I tried it with 2 eggs first looked really sloppy so threw that batch away and made a 2nd batch using just one egg - turned out good.
Try using an electric wisk it makes the eggs and sugar more fluffy and add additional coconut and walnuts(optional)to make the cookies a little bit thicker.
My family and I found these to be the best coconut cookies. I had bought the coconut for my Christmas cookie the usuall macaroon. but I forgot the can milk needed to make them I jumped on to all recipes and as usuall it saved my day and a trip to the store. I whipped the eggs and sugar in my mixer till they were a lemon color. they came out great.
I was really Disappointed in this COOKIE!!! It spread really bad and didnt even form a cookie!!! it tasted more like a fortune cookie then a coconut mountain!!! I Would Never Do This Cookie Again...
I'm gonna go with the middle rating but unfortunately I had the same miserable experience as some of the other reviewers. However I believe I must have done something wrong. If other people made it and it came out good it must be possible. Firstly I think I had a scant cup of coconut. Secondly I had a large egg. Mine weren't quite as runny as the others (maybe they had JUMBO eggs?). But they still made a disaster of my cookie sheets and only held up in the center. I'd probably make sure I had enough coconut and use a medium egg if I made them again. I'm not sure I wouldn't just try a different recipe first though. Shame - they seem to have potential... if you can figure them out.
This was horrible "cookies" did not cook I added extra coconut to begin with to try to frim it up some but had to add flour after cooking the first batch. the ones with flour had no taste. So when it comes to this cookie you have three choices. Have a mess of a cookie add flour and take away flavor or just stop before making it to begin with. I will chose the last one from now on.
They didn't turn out at all. They where like flat little pancakes. I was very disappointed.
I ended up adding an additional 2-3 cups of coconut baked them a little longer and they were a complete hit.
