I realize that I've posted nearly every day this week about one or another dish that appeared at the Philly Food Blogger Potluck last Friday. I hope I'm not boring you with all these posts, it just doesn't seem right not to share all the wonderful things that I got to taste that night. And with that introduction, let me tell you about what may be one of the best cookies I've ever tasted (and I've eaten more than my share of cookies over the years).
Elizabeth, who is also responsible for the Elvis and Fluffer Nutter cakes I've posted about in the past, brought a large container of her famous Coconut Almond Toffee Crunch cookies to the potluck. She describes them perfectly in her post as a cookie that has evolved into a treat "that combines chewy, crunchy, sweet, salty, and buttery." People who loudly announced that they didn't like coconut devoured them. Folks sneaked stacks of them out in napkins. One blogger said she was going to take the cookie in her hand home to her boyfriend but was then spotted eating it a few moments later. They are just that good.
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

God! That photo is so luscious I was ready to rush off to bake up a batch and try them until I remembered I hate coconut.
My son doesn't. I'll have to make them when he's home for Thanksgiving.

The crazy thing about these cookies is that they don't really taste like coconut. It lends it's texture more than it's flavor. When you make them for your son, make sure to give them a little taste and see if maybe you like them.

Funny you should mention cookies. Everyone cant make them and then there are those who think they can. There s only one friend of mine that make great chocolate chip cookies. This recipe of yours seems as if amyone could make them and they would be great. We should all be truthful when recipes arent good. So they can stop making them and giving them to you...LOL.. Sorry had to vent. I have a box of homemade nasty cookies of 4 varities I wouldnt feed my dog!!! And one is coconut!

I'm coming late to this thread, but I wanted to let you guys know that I made these for my Christmas party (along with about a dozen other sweets). Everyone raved about them. I made the cookies fairly small, and they just disappeared from the plate. Definitely a keeper recipe.
