Notes

***Oatmeal can be increased to up to 3 cups, just decrease some of the coconut/corn flakes, or expect a chunkier cookie.
***Coconut and Corn Flakes can be decreased or even omitted, but make sure to increase the Oatmeal.
Although great the way they are, you can add chocolate chips, raisins, Craisins, nuts, etc... make them your own!
