This is a great recipe - very sweet!

Sweet, yes very, especially with the coconut. But, nothing a tall cold glass of milk won't fix.

Excellent recipe. I also added half a cup of peanut butter and used brown sugar and soy milk instead for a healthier taste.

Great with 1 and 1/4 cup sugar and 5 tbsp. cocoa instead. More flavor and not so sweet.

I tried to make a healthier version using soy milk, honey, and earth's balance (non-dairy butter) as substitutes and made the most awesome concoction (basically turned out as oatmeal). I am wondering what actually makes the cookies stick?. Thanks for the awesome recipe. I will be trying this again.

A comment for Princess High's question... what makes them "stick" is boiling the butter, milk and sugar mixture for the exact amount of time. Too long and the cookies will crumble, too little and they will not set up. This is a good recipe, I use unsweetened coconut and have not added the nuts yet.

Thank you soo much! They were delicious!

I took the coconut and nuts out and put in one extra cut of oats. I also used old fashioned rolled oats. It turned out very yummy. Good basic recipe.

I cut sugar to 1 1/4 cups sugar, 5 tbsp. cocoa, 1/2 cups peanut butter and 1 cup coconut. Absolutely awesome!!
