Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating The dough came out heavy, almost greasy for me. Coconut flavor was not as pronounced as I would like. I baked at 400 rather than 375. Posted November 10, 2010 by teresa G. Rating Tried this recipe in 2002 and it has been requested every year since. I use a diamond cookie cutter which allows me to cut more cookies at once. And diagonally stripe with the flavored icing and they look beautiful.
