These are pretty good, not great in our opinion but better than they look. I was curious about this recipe, I never made one with oil before and I know oil is better than butter & shortening for cholesterol but I just don't know, I think I'd prefer other types of cookies instead. I did add 1/2c choc chips so my boys will eat them too lol

This is a very good base recipe! Instead of the oats and coconut, I added cereal and chocolate chips. Very yummy!

I only made these because I had no butter handy, and the hubby and I had a sweets craving. I tweaked it a bit by adding cinnamon and raisins. I was very surprised at how much these cookies spread, so I suggest rolling them half the size of a walnut. They worked well for out sweet tooth, but I don't think I will make these again.

Ok well they didn't rise like the pic I see but I made a few changes so that could be why. Ran out of oatmeal and only had 1/2 cup so replaced the rest with buckwheat flour (what I had on hand). Subbed the white sugar with 1/3 cup of honey. Used shredded instead of flaked coconut. And I have kids - gotta add choco chips! Oh and since I love cinnamon, I added maybe 1 tsp of that. They took a bit longer to bake, were too soft while warm to eat, but once they cooled, amazing taste! I wish I could customize this one but I'm not a paying member so there goes that idea. :) Great recipe though, I am sure even without all my subs the original would be just as amazing.

Good cookie. Instead of 3/4 tsp salt added 1tsp salt. Added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg, omitted coconut, added 1/2 cup chocolate chips (had difficulty mixing in, but baked in quite nicely)Bakes into a beautiful round cookie, chewy on the inside, crisp on the outside. Thanks!!

I totally screwed up when I was making these by adding 1 1/2 cups coconut instead of 1/2 cup, but they still turned out!!! Love the fact that you make these all in one bowl too. A keeper.

The dough seems very oily and I will try cutting back to 2/3 cup next time. I followed the suggestion of previous reviews and toasted the oats and coconut. I make some with and some with out chocolate chips. Both are very good.

I wasn't blown away, but it was good. The only thing I did was adding the 1/2 tsp. baking powder so it would stand up a little more as others mentioned, and cut the sugars in half. It was plenty sweet. Raisins are a good addition. The batter will be quite oily but the cookies will turn out fine.

I tried this recipe today and I loved it. I did not use brown sugar or salt and I used baking powder instead but it turned out great. Everyone loved it. This is definately a keeper.
