I needed a better baked clam recipe while I was working at a restaurant. What I came up with is this. They received a warm reception. Additionally, you may spread this on crackers.

Reviews
Soft and chewy with delicious flavor! The only thing I’ll do differently next time is add more chocolate chips. I will definitely keep this recipe!
The only thing I did not add the coconut, as I am not a fan of that. Everyone like them the cookies very much.??
