Chewy Oatmeal-Coconut Cookies

I got this recipe from livestrong.com and was skeptical at first. To get 2 dozen, you have to make them really small, but according to the recipe, "these delicious cookies have a caramel flavor and a chewy consistency that makes them irresistible." And you know what? I have to agree since I've eaten a dozen already--but remember, they're small, so it's okay :)

Chewy Oatmeal-Coconut Cookies

1 ¼ cups 5-minute organic rolled oats
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup shredded coconut
4 Tbl. sweet butter
1 large egg, beaten
1 Tbl. all-purpose flour
¾ tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. grated nutmeg
¼ tsp. salt

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter two baking sheets. Combine the oats, brown sugar, coconut, flour, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and vanilla, then mix these into the dry ingredients. Drop teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheets about three inches apart in all directions and flatten with the back of a fork. Bake for about eight minutes, or until nicely browned. Remove the baking sheets to the countertop and let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before stacking. Makes about two dozen cookies.
