I have been going through a bit of a coconut phase the last few months. Having not eaten it for a very long time, I am back into it and absolutely loving it now.

The Coconut Oat Cookies should be that perfect combo of crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. The key to that is in how long you bake them; too little and they will be a bit floppy and cakey, too long and they will be hard. If you can, it helps to spoon out fairly uniform sizes of cookie dough onto the baking sheet. 

It's a fairly firm dough, due to the inclusion of the additional dry ingredients of oats and coconut, so it doesn't spread an enormous amount unlike most American style cookies. That means that it's better not to leave the dough as golf-ball shaped lumps on the cookie sheet when you put them in the oven. Instead, try to flatten the dough down with the back of the spoon so you get more of a cookie-like shape when they're cooked.

Coconut Oat Cookies remind me so much of having a glass of milk and a biscuit in the evenings when my sister and I were staying with our nana and grandad. Delicious!
