With my cookie scoop I ended up with 8 1/2 dozen cookies. My family loved these.

Coconut and white chocolate chips. Have mercy!!!

Friends and family loved these. I even thought they were really good and I am not a fan of coconut. Will definitely make these again.

My mom makes these every week in the summer for our local Farmer's Market. They are always very popular!

I added raisins as well and every time I bake them they disappear very quickly.
