Awesome cookie recipe! I scaled it down to make 12 servings and I still got almost 50 little 1 inch raw dough balls that came out to perfectly sized baked cookies. What I did to modify the recipe was add 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts and about 1 cup white chocolate chips and I baked them for only 10 mintues and left them on the pan for another 2. SO YUMMY! I think that next time, though, I will add even more coconut as I love that stuff and think that coconut flavor, while very tasty, was a little too subtle.

i love these cookies! in fact, somebody needs to stop me before i eat them all! i used old fashioned rolled oats, a combo of whole wheat flour, whole wheat pastry flour, and oat flour, and i used half one teaspoon of baking soda. they are super amazing...seriously...i can't stop eating them!

Very good. So many people, it seems, have to have strong flavors, thus they have to add chocolate or nuts. I enjoy the delicate flavor of these cookies just as the recipe is written.

Another 70's child checking in. These are the tastes of my childhood! My grandmother rarely bakes these days and now it's time for me to relive those days of yore. These cookies are WONDERFUL! Served up with a cup of coffee or a spot of tea, these will be a hit at any table, even if it is a table for one. Yummy!

I found these tasteless. I rarely change recipes, but this one definitely needed something changed. I added in an extra cup of coconut and 1-1/2 cups of chocolate chips. It helped a bit, but I won't bake them again.

These were VERY yummy. I did change the recipe a bit. Instead of 1 tspn salt, I used half. Also I used 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) and 1/2 cup applesauce so it's less fattening. And they still came out wonderful! Of course I put some chocolate chips on top. :) P.S: this made about 36 cookies for me, maybe a bit more!

I really like this recipie. I had chopped walnuts left over from a carrot cake and used that istead of rolled oats. Everyone loved it. I read the reviews about the salt and only added a pinch. Also this recipie makes more that 24.

These were pretty good. They didn't get eaten up quickly, though, so must not have been a household favorite. I will make these again, though. Thinking some chocolate chips would help make these even better!

This is a great coconut cookie recipe. I added one cup of chopped pecans. Think the salt could be cut down some - maybe 3/4 tsp.

I've been looking for just this recipe. It is almost like a cookie I remember from a neighborhood bakery in the 60's. I added large pieces of pecans and a little salt and these cookies are delicious

This is an easy to make cookie recipe, however it is not a favorite of mine. I found it too sweet and a bit bland. Perhaps it would be better with cinnamon, nuts and/or chocolate chips. Using a 1 1/4 inch cookie scoop, I got 7 dozen cookies out of this recipe.
