OAT & COCONUT ICEBOX COOKIES

Oat & Coconut Icebox Cookies image

This recipe was passed down through my family from Grandma Irene and is a favorite of my dad and cousin Dennis. It's a true cookie lover's cookie: crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and perfectly dunkable. -Lori Rowe, Tigerton, Wisconsin
