Oatmeal Date Coconut drop cookies image

I've had this old recipe for a long time, and am not sure of it's origin. However, the cookies are delish and are always a hit when I bring them to a party, or to share at work.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

These cookies are a bit dry. I would add an extra egg yolk to the dough next time.

I found that these cookies spread out too much in the oven. I would chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've made these cookies gluten-free by using gluten-free oats and flour. They turned out great!
