Agave Coconut Oatmeal Cookies image

I wanted to try coconut oil and agave for baking cookies and didn't find a recipe online that struck my fancy, so I took one and tinkered with it, adding coconut and chocolate, and leaving out other ingredients. These are NOT sugar free, but much lower in sugar than cookies using brown sugar.
