Chocolate Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
Filed under Dessert - CookiesJan 9
First of all, I want to thank everyone for their well-wishes for my husband. Things didn’t happen quite as we expected – the doctor got into his knee and found that there was too much damage to continue the surgery. He ended up scoping the knee, and so now it looks like my husband will need a full knee replacement sooner than expected.I was looking through the photos I have not blogged about, and came across these cookies that I made about a month ago. I came across this recipe on This Week For Dinner. These cookies contain everything I love in a cookie – chocolate, coconut, oatmeal – I knew that these would go over well at our house!! I made them, and of course we loved them. Again, I only had quick cooking oats, but I would recommend making these with old-fashioned oats. It also called for mini chocolate chips, and I used regular chocolate chips because that is what I had. These are BIG cookies – and while you could always make them smaller, every once in awhile you need to treat yourself to a BIG cookie!!

All my best wishes to your hubby! Maybe you could bake another batch of these cookies for him. I cannot imagine that these will not get at least a smile on that face. And if he does not fancy them – I’ll have them! Hugs to you!

So sorry to hear about your husband’s knee troubles! Many positive thoughts and well wishes his way, I hope he has a safe & quick recovery.
I have a recipe for cookies like this that I absolutely adore, both because the cookies taste great and because it was the first recipe I ever wrote. You’re right, chocolate & coconut are a mighty tasty combo! Your cookies look delicious.

I’m both relieved and sad that I didn’t read your earlier post pre-surgery but so sorry to hear that Deborah. My heart really goes out to him. They seem to have that magical figure of 5 years as that’s what they said about my back originally last year. Bit scared to go for the operation option!
Sincere best wishes to you both. Tough one! Lots of TLC needed for him but for you too! Look after yourselves.

Don’t worry, since major sports people have knee injuries a lot, there’s been a lot of advancements in knee repair/ replacements. It’s going to be okay.
These cookies look delicious!

I am really sorry to hear about your husband’s knee
I have some friends who have had knee surgery so I know how awful that stuff can be. On a happier note though, those cookies really do look fabulous. I would have to eat these before dinner!!
