The BEST cookies or at least real close to the best :)

I originally found this recipe from my very favorite cookbook . I made it when I was expecting my first baby and was craving a treat, this recipe jumped out at me because it has LESS FAT, yes you read less and fat connected to a cookie recipe. I love this because it has the crunch of the oats and the coconut, the sweetness of the chocolate chips and just a hint of butter flavor. I am not a fan of cookies that taste like eating a stick of butter with a few chocolate chips thrown in. Try out this cookie and you will become a fan. Even my ultra picky-should be a food critic-ultra picky palate husband loves these cookies.

p.s. that plate of cookies you see up there would be considered one serving for me...yeah they are addicting.
