I live at an altitude of 7,000 ft...any suggestions on ingredients so that they come out right?

 I made these using some of the lemon zest, about only 1 teaspoon, and squeezed in some of the juice (it was 11pm and i didnt want to zest a lemon all night long lol)

they turned out great!!! they are absolutely delicious! :)

 Thanks for the comment, I will have to try that next time!!! did you use less of something else to account for the lemon juice? 

[johnkid]

 i added a little bit more flour to the dough... my dough appeared a little more wet than in your pictures, so i baked them longer about 5 more minutes.. and they formed an amazing chewy crust! :)

[beccalalbrand]

 Awesome, I'm glad it worked out. You got the same chewy crust that I get, I think its what makes the cookies so awesome! Im going to try your way next time and see how it goes!

Lemon and coconut sound great and only a 1/4 cup of butter, that is light. Nice!

[beccalalbrand]

 Thank you! Yeah, the butter is very light making the cookies feel light (so you can eat 4 or 5 and not feel bad!) :) enjoy!
