These golden brown cookies are crispy on the outside and cake-like on the inside. Their tasty blend of oats, rice cereal, coconut and brown sugar have made them a favorite with our family. You won't be able to eat just one—Mary Lou Boyce,Wilmington, Delaware

I added butterscotch chips (about 1 cup.) My family gobbled them up :D

I made these the other day and the dough was very dry, and the cookies turned out hard. I left out the coconut because I don't like it, but I didn't think it would make that big of a difference. The cookies had good flavor, but not what I expected. Any suggestions?

I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. I also added chopped pecans. Perfect.
