Wow!I totally messsed up and forgot to melt the shortening but added a little warm water to the mix. These are the best Oatmeal Coconut Cookies I have ever had. Add some Chocolate chips and it's simular to "Dad's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies" New family favorite. Thanks for the post! -
Very good taste! I have been looking for a match to the oatmeal coconut cookie that was my fav as a kid. This is as close as I have been able to make. I had started mixing before I realized I only had 1/4 cup of coconut so I just increased the oatmeal and they still turned out well. I will be sure to stock up on coconut and try this recipe again soon. Thanks! -
Quick and easy!! Already a favorite in my home.
