It's as if I have an insatiable need for continuous pleasure that begins with brownies on Friday night, cake on Saturday, cookies on Sundays and is now edging its way into my weekday routine.

These cookies bring together two seemingly diverse flavors, coconut and oatmeal, with a little chocolate added for good measure.

In fact, keeping some of this dough in the freezer should be on the must-do list!
