Drrrooools....coconut. Sounds like an interesting addition. I ask a lot of people what kind of cookie is their favorite and a great number actually say oatmeal cookies. This surprised me, but then I realized why. It's because of the nutty flavors, the contrasting textures, the crispiness and chewiness, the spices and dark molasses sugar that are associated with grandma's apple pie, and because of the shortening. I have made oatmeal cookies without shortening, but they don't have that same comfortness and ruffage feeling. This is a fantastic recipe. Now I'm in the mood to start baking cookies tonight!
