Not sure whether to classify this as cookie or candy, but I will classify it as delicious.

Be sure that you do use canned coconut. The stuff in the bags is too dry.

    So glad to see this recipe here! Mom used to make this when I was a child and I was hoping to make it for Christmas this year as my daughter and her husband are coming to share their first married-life Christmas with us!
