A Cookie A Day ~ Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

I have had a busy day, but what I accomplished, I could not tell you.  I did make a run to the grocery store and I picked up coconut, which I was out of.  That allowed me to whip up these cookies, which I do love.  I am making a lemon/chicken/pasta dish for supper, I feel like between the schedules in this house, I haven't made supper all week.  Without further ado - here is the recipe - so I can get going on supper!
