Grandma Helen's Oatmeal Cookies image

Buttery and rich, this old-fashioned oatmeal cookie is fantastic. They're crunchy and crisp around the edges and chewy in the middle. Coconut adds tons of flavor and texture. It's what makes this different from other oatmeal cookies. We opted to add a 12oz bag of chocolate chips along with the coconut and loved these. If you love...

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
