dried/desiccated coconut

I think the author should specify "dried or desiccated" coconut - I don't see how this could work with fresh, and this might have resulted in some of the unhappy reviews I read. I had no problem handling the crumbly dough because I gently filled a tablespoon measure to make each cookie. My husband loves these. They are a bit sweet for me, but I love the texture. So glad to learn about cookies I can make using dried/desiccated coconut, which is a new food for me.

"I agree with your assumption that if Earth Balance was using Conflict-free Palm Oil, they would make sure to advertise that fact on the label. Since I became aware of the horrifying consequences of palm oil production, I have been very careful not to buy foods with that ingredient. Of course, there are many non-food products that contain some derivative of palm oil and I'm not sure how I can eliminate consumption of those products, e.g. shampoo, lotion, etc. I observe the dietary laws of Kashruth and have wanted to bake with a product that is kosher and palm oil free. So far, this has been impossible. Now that you have made us aware that the Spectrum Culinary Organic (no s) All-Vegetable Shortening is part of the Rain Forest Alliance, I look forward to baking some..."
