They ended up being delicious. (Even my non coconut eating husband finished off the last of them.)
These simple cookies come together quickly in a food processor. They have no flour in them so there is the added benefit of them being gluten free as well. I thought they looked rather festive for the holidays so I decided to incorporate them into my usual line up of favorite Christmas cookies.

Ok these turned out horribly. I only added 2 cups of oats and they were so crumbly no way they would stick together. I added a square of bakers chocolate melted in another 4 tablespoons of butter, and they BARELY stuck together then, but no way would the coconut stick
