As a poor college student, my friends and I would get together on Saturday nights for dinner, dessert and games. While many of our fellow students were attending Keggers, we were enjoying good food, fun and each other's company, without the hang over. This recipe was a favorite that I modified by using oil instead of butter, since it was cheaper and easier for me to cook with. Someone had given me the recipe, but I can't remember who or when.

I forgot how easy these cookies are to make!! I prefer using sweetened coconut, but some people like them with unsweetened coconut (for less sweet with fewer calories.) Definately use the quick oats for a better texture. My daughter, Emily thinks the cookies should only be baked for 14 minutes, so they'll be more chewy less chrunchy. (Emily, Leah and Sarah agreed that the raw dough is almost as good as the baked cookie, but I wouiln't recommend it both because they have raw eggs and mostly because it means less baked cookies 8^)
