Tips for the Aloha Oatmeal Cookies Recipe:

Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
If you don't have coconut oil, you can use unsalted butter instead.

Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.
