Oatmeal Chocolate Coconut Cookies

As I mentioned in my previous post, the weather in the great NC has been rather fickle. We are just now getting a major heat wave! I have been taking advantage cool weather and been baking like crazy. You don't dare turn the oven on in the summer! Even with air conditioning, cranking an oven to 350 degrees will take the starch out of your undies. 

None the less, I have done more baking this summer than usual. I was sending Alex and my cadets back-to-school goody box and I decided to whip these up. I modified the original recipe from (http://lilluna.com/coconut-oatmeal-cookies-recipe/) They are super soft and very flavorful! Alex rated them an 8 out of 10
