Old Fashioned Oatmeal Coconut Cookies image

These are my absolute favourite cookies. The only thing I don't like about them is how fast they disappear! I have listed the original recipe but I usually change it up a bit. I like to use whole-wheat flour, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown. I like to add ground flaxseed, nuts and/or sunflower seeds. And I always use craisins (dried, sweetened cranberries) instead of raisins or chocolate. Mmmm... delicious and nutritious.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually really liked these cookies. The oatmeal helps to balance out the coconut flavor.

I made these cookies exactly as the recipe said, but they turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
