Steps:

(If you bake them until they begin to brown, the cookies will turn out crispy instead of chewy.)

Note: These cookies spread out to almost flat when they bake, that's the way they should be because they don't have any baking powder in them. *Most flaked coconut has long strands that I didn't want in the cookies so I pulsed it in the food processor using the steel blade until desired size.
