Dad's Favorite Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chef #551745's Note:

Part crunchy, part chewy, all mouth watering. It is hard to keep these from disappearing. I use organic flaked coconut for a different texture but regular shredded coconut works well too.

These cookies are fantastic! They are my new favorite! I cooked them for 10 minutes so they turned out nice and chewy.
