One of our all-time favorites is this Oatmeal Coconut Cookies recipe (they're different from our Classic Oatmeal Cookies recipe, which we love too). I will admit that I was a little hesitant to try them at first because they seemed so plain, but oh mama, they were good!! Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until combined and smooth. The toasting of the coconut really gives it a true coconut flavor.
