Coconut oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy and
rich in taste. They taste like a regular soft and buttery cookie but the inclusion of coconut, in the form of
coconut oil and coconut flakes ( although you can’t
taste it but it gives these cookies a deep caramel richness and chewy bite. My husband really loved it...Very easy to make in a very less time..
