Good cookies! Smaller than usual amounts of sugar in a cookie recipe appeals to me. I added 1/2 cup (or so) of diced dried pineapple, and some chopped dried cherries. Next time, I bet chopped dates would be good in these cookies. The oats and coconut I toasted in a skillet on top of my stove. -
Very nice, with exciting burnt flavor. The texture was a little soft in our opinion, but that could always be because of our oven, not so sure about it. -
Simply delicious! -
Very good. These cookies disappeared quickly. Had a couple large chocolate bars so I cut them and added to the dough.
