Hi Laura, I did a search, but couldn't find the Coconut-oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies that you mentioned in the Cookies post. They sound really good and I'd like to give them a try. I have a hard time with the search feature. Alot of times I can find the thread, but cannot open it.

Thanks! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Hi. I almost missed this request - it was at the bottom of the page by the time I found it! These cookies are SO good. I like to make them kind of fat so that they come out chewy. My mom makes them smaller and bakes at a higher temperature so that they are crispy. You can play around with it to see how you like it. Be warned, the batter makes a ton of cookies! You may want to half or even quarter it while you are figuring out how you like them! Let me know what you think when you try them.
