Anytime is Cookie Time!

My Cookie Jar

          Homemade cookies...Yummmm!
     I decided to try something different today... like modifying my oatmeal cookie recipe.  Since I recently developed food allergies,  I  constantly experiment with recipes to come up with something that I can eat...well, actually, my family shares them, too.  That's probably because I am a little too lazy to cook twice...one for me, and one for Bruce and Mom.  And since Mom is diabetic, and Bruce is always watching his new trim figure, it is a challenge to come up with something all of us can eat!

     This time I modified an oatmeal cookie recipe that I've had so long that I can't remember where I got it, but oatmeal cookies are pretty much the same, so these are pretty basic.  But raisins are NOT my favorite thing, so I decided that some Craisins I kept stored in the pantry would be good to replace the raisins.  And why not throw in some coconut since that IS one of my favorite things?  The end result?  A delicious tasty, chewy cookie!  My husband had just come in from mowing the lawn (notice the sweat-stained shirt!), and he grabbed a handful mouthing his approval, so I guess this recipe is a keeper!
