    Oatmeal cookies are one of my very favorite types of cookies.  They remind me of my childhood.  A good sugar cookie will always be my first choice, but an oatmeal cookie is a very close second!  I can be quite weary of an oatmeal cookie though because I am not a fan of raisins in my cookies.  Don't get me wrong.  I have nothing against raisins.  I like them on their own, I like them in trail mix, I just don't like them in my baked goods.

    I DO like lots of add-ins in my oatmeal cookies.  I know coconut is another highly debatable ingredient.  I love it.  The flavor, the texture, the extra chew factor!! It takes oatmeal cookies to another dimension.  If you are a fan of coconut, you definitely need to make these cookies.

    I also added chocolate chips to this recipe to give them another flavor element.  Milk chocolate just seemed like the right accompaniment, but if you prefer a darker chocolate, that will work fine.  Come to think of it, these would be great with white chocolate chips too!  If you prefer no chocolate in your oatmeal cookies, this recipe works perfectly fine with the chocolate chips omitted.  I've never tried it, but I am 99.9% sure you could sub raisins for the chocolate chips if that is more your style.

    Another trick to making these oatmeal, coconut, chocolate chip cookies your new favorite is to use dark brown sugar.  I'll admit I don't even buy light brown sugar anymore.  It's one of my baking secrets.  Trust me on this one; it makes all your baked good taste just a little bit more special. 😉
