I made these for a Christmas tag sale and cookie sale at a rehab facility in Woodbridge a few years back and they were such a big hit. One of the staff members said that they were delicious. I made these also for a church coffee ann and they were a hit there as well
I thought they were too sweet, possibly because if the coconut. I used sweetened since the recipe didn't specify.
Uniquely delicious combination of ingredients---easy to make. People were reluctant to try them, but then came back for seconds after tasting one. Easy to make, too!
Delicious and fun to make. The Grandkids loved them. This recipe is a keeper.
These were okay. Really kind of boring. Not sure the sweet potato added anything.
Delicious and so easy to make... Will definitely keep in my Recipe box to make again...
Very good, but very sweet! One or two was more than enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. This will be a great cookie to make for all the upcoming holiday parties. I didn't have any OJ concentrate, so I used 1 T. orange extract and 2 T. water.
Kids, husband and coworkers love it. The only thing I changed-instead of orange concentrate I used orange zest from 1 large orange
These are sooo delicious! I followed the recipe except I used orange juice instead of concentrate because that's only what I had. Still an outstanding cookie and one of our most favorite. Try them!
this is a keeper, everyone asks for the recipe, cannot keep them on the platter!!
