Great recipe just as written. After making it a few times, I have made a few alterations to suit our taste. I substitute applesauce for the shortening and use 1/2tsp of almond extract & 1/2tsp vanilla. These have become a family favorite.

Had a sweet craving the other night and this fit the bill wonderfully. I reduced the sugar and subbed applesauce for the shortening. The cookies were cakey and moist and delicious. What a great way to mix a love of oatmeal and coconut! Thanks!

deffinitly a great choice. never heard of it before but I am glad I tried it. i thought they were not going to turn out cause the dough was hard with all the oats but they were a little crunchy and chewey. if they get hard just put a piece of bread in the jar with them and they will be soft again.

Great as is but I added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 cup of nuts to make add a little more flavor. My wife will never leave me if I keep making her these cookies.

This recipe was so easy that I was able to make it with baby on hip. I halved the recipe and made four minor changes: * I used only butter (no shortening on hand). * I added a little extra oatmeal as previous reviewers suggested. * I mixed all the ingredients together in my Kitchenaid (I didn't separate wet and dry). * I shortened the cooking time until the cookies appeared baked on the sides and still moist in the middle. The end result was wonderful. The buttery coconut taste was warm and exotic. The coconut and oatmeal added a nice texture. The cookies were a little flatter than most recipes I have made, but undercooking them allowed them to remain moist. I will definitely make this recipe again.

good

They are good until the third day than they dry out and are no good

Was a tad too sweet, next time will cut back the sugars to 2/3 cup. Did make the following changes: 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup walnuts 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Otherwise the cookie was pretty good.

Awesome Cookies. These are super easy to make and they taste so good. Definitely 5 stars.

Followed directions as stated and results were yummy!

Quite possibly the best oatmeal cookies I've ever made! I added craisins and an extra cup of oats as suggested by a previous review. Excellent recipe.

This recipe was easy to make and it was fun, too. They are soo delicious and I will definatly make them again. Next time we go to a party or something, the hosts will get a yummy surprise!!! SOOOO sweet!!!!!!!

Just made these cookies 10 minutes ago and they are great! I did add all the suggestions listed-pinch of cinnamon,salt, and cream of tartar. I was out of vanilla so experimenting used a dash of vanilla flavored coffee and they turned out fine. But a strong hand is needed when mixing the ingred. at the end. Also watch the timing as suggested-very important. Thanks for your great recipe!

Super!! I used all butter instead of shortening.

These cookies were very sweet! I really enjoyed the flavor combination of coconut and oats. Next time, I'll probably add some spices, such as cinnamon, or semi-sweet chocolate chips to give the cookies a bit more flavor. I was able to get about three dozen cookies from this recipe.

Wonderful recipe. Added some "apple pie spices" and vanilla. Will dip them in melted chocolate next time. Thanks for the advice on pulling them from the oven immediately. These cookies were picture perfect, not flat at all. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

So good! I had to stop myself from just eating all the dough! They also kept well in just a zip-lock for about a week.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! The best oatmeal cookies I have ever had! I added cinnimin and 1/2 tsp. of salt to the recipe. Thanks for the great recipe!
