Old Fashioned Oatmeal Coconut Cookies image

These are my absolute favourite cookies. The only thing I don't like about them is how fast they disappear! I have listed the original recipe but I usually change it up a bit. I like to use whole-wheat flour, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown. I like to add ground flaxseed, nuts and/or sunflower seeds. And I always use craisins (dried, sweetened cranberries) instead of raisins or chocolate. Mmmm... delicious and nutritious.

These cookies are a great way to get my kids to eat oats. They love the taste of the cookies, and they don't even realize that they're eating healthy ingredients.

I'm going to try making these cookies with different types of nuts. I think pecans or walnuts would be a great addition.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have some egg whites left over after I make scrambled eggs, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The coconut flavor is subtle, and it pairs well with the oats.
