Famous Amos Cookies (recipe with dessicated coconut)

This is the second attempt in baking a so-called, replica of the famous Famous Amos Cookies (erm, do I see doubles? lol).

Well, it isn't the original recipe, which of course Famous Amos wouldn't allow any recipe leaks to happen. But result of this recipe is really very close to the real thing.

I mentioned the "second" is because in my first attempt, it was a different recipe but it didn't state the essence that I feel is it in the original, i.e. coconut. I always think that there is coconut in every bites on the Famous Amos cookies, as they get stuck in my teeth at times. (^o^) But it still tastes as good for my first attempt which you can find the recipe here.
