Reviews
The flavor of these is very good, but the texture is kind of greasy. The cookies aren’t chewy, rather they’re crumbly like old shortbread cookies, leaving a greasy feel on your fingers.
These cookies were too dry and lacking in flavor. They also didn’t want to stay together.
Name says it all! Makes a ton.
These are good! Very buttery flavor. This recipe makes a lot more than 24 small cookies! I made at least 24 very big cookies. I used my pampered chef large scoop. Also, the recipe calls for salt but doesn’t say when to put it in. I added it with butter/oil step and I also added the vanilla at this step NOT at the end. The recipe says to stir in the oatmeal, coconut, cereal and flour. That seems kind of odd so I added the flour after the oil/butter, etc was mixed NOT at the end. Then I stirred in the oatmeal, coconut and cereal. My husband thinks I should add some white chocolate chips. Maybe.
My youngest daughter and I tried these on a whim today because we wanted something sweet, looked in the cupboard, and found only a package of coconut to work with! Lucky for us because these are wonderful – nice and soft but with a bit of crunch. I did make a confectioner sugar icing and topped it with toasted coconut, which the recipe does not call for, but added so much. This is a great recipe, especially if you are looking for something just a little different.
My son: These cookies are great! My husband: Crunchy but chewy These have a nice texture.
