Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

 Kellie (Ontario) says:
I made these with just a few simple changes (added a hint of cinnamon, some raisins, dried cranberries and chocolate) and my goodness! These are the BEST cookies I have EVER tasted. whats better is that I didnt have any oatmeal so I ended up using some instant stuff (2 packages of maple brown sugar and 2 packages of apple cinnamon) and still, absoloutly delicious. only complaint is the yield was huge! I made like 40 cookies..but then again, who says thats a bad thing? New favorite cookie recipe. thank you for sharing.
