These cookies are very tasty and kind of butterscotchy, and I'd bet even people who don't like coconut would like them.

Your Coconut Oatmeal cookie recipe is my daughter's favorite cookie, she requests a batch for her birthday and special occasions. No one except the baker even knows there is coconut in them and the coconut gives them an incredible smooth flavor. I add one teaspoon of vanilla to mine. Also, my recipe calls for smashing them with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar instead of using a fork to push them down.
