These are awesome cookies! They baked up great and have a nice chewy texture. I followed the recipe exactly as written. I used dark chocolate chips and unsweetened coconut (the kind you can buy at Asian grocery stores). Not too sweet and just enough "tropical"...just what I was craving. Thanks for a great recipe! I will definitely make these again!!

These are a great chewy cookie! Lots of texture and flavor, and who doesn't want to add more oatmeal, coconut, and chocolate to their lives?!!

I too loved these cookies. I also used unsweetened coconut so the coconut flavor is subtle, but still there. I also used whole wheat flour and they turned out great. Had to use a vegan butter since my DD is allergic to dairy, but still very yummy. Thank you!
