Add the flour, the coconut, the baking powder and the salt. Mix to blend. Stir in the nuts. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough, 2-inches apart, on the prepared baking sheet(s). Bake until lightly browned, about 10 - 12 minutes. Remove from rack and cool on pan(s) for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack and cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container.

Hi...I have no clue how good these are or not, but I have a pretty good ebook collection, and found 2 that are all Diabetic recipes. I saved them for my cousin, but kept them as some of the recipes looked good enough to make for some healthy eating. If you want to send me your email I'd be glad to send them to you. The first is "Delicious Diabetic Recipes" and has over 500 recipes of all types. The other is "Diabetic Recipe Sampler" and has less but I like the full nutritious breakdown they do.
Here are a few desserts pulled at random that sound yummy;

This is simple and delish. Even if you are not diabetic, it's a hit!
1 package of angel food cake and 1 can 20 ox of crushed pineapple. Mix together --yes--just those two items, and bake in a 9x13 pan. Top with cool whip or just dust with powder sugar. Sooo good!
Snap-Quick Peanut Butter
Ingredients:
? 1 cup chunky peanut butter
? 1 cup Splenda (sugar substitute)
? 1 egg
? 1 tsp cinnamon
? 1/2 tsp nutmeg
? 1 tsp vanilla
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients. Using a small spoon, drop cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie. Press each ball of dough with a fork to flatten it into a cookie shape about 1/3 inch thick. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Notes:
Baking time may vary upon oven. You can substitute almond or cashew butter, if you'd prefer (but peanut, I think tastes best).
Number of servings: about 1 dozen
WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH BERRIES

2 cups nonfat milk
2 cups nonfat whipped topping
2 cups fresh berries (or frozen, thawed) such as raspberries, blueberries, or huckleberries

Layer mousse with berries in a serving bowl or individual parfait glasses. Be sure to save some berries for the top.
