Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
This is a very easy and tasty recipe. The coconut and cinnamon add a little mystery to the cookies. You can also add butterscotch morsels to make them sweeter. Just using your basic ingredients, you make a delicious snack in no time at all.
You can even make a bunch of the dough (I do this with Chocolate Chip Cookies all the time) and freeze it. I usually double or even triple the batch and use up my small plastic storage containers by freezing small portions of the dough. That way you can take them out one at a time for a little snack. I figure if I'm going to take out my trusty KitchenAid mixer, I might as well make it worth the time and prepare enough for later.
