Oatmeal Coconut Chewies with Chocolate Chips

If you have noticed a lack of coconut on the blog, it's the fault of my husband.  He's not a fan (it's a texture thing, which is why he doesn't mind coconut milk in our curries), so that's why when he was headed out of town, I decided to console myself with some cookies.  On the upside: I had an entire batch of perfectly chewy, oatmeal coconut cookies all to myself.  On the downside: I had an entire batch of cookies to myself. And they were delicious.
