Smashingly Good

This recipe has it all - stress reduction, chocolate, ease and low calorie per cookie goodness.  If you don't have coconut powder, you can use all flaked coconut.  No old fashioned oatmeal?  Use quick.  Allergic to chocolate?  Replace the chocolate with all purpose flour. 

  2 Cups Old-Fashioned Oatmeal                                               1 1/2 Cups Butter

  1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar                                                          1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

  1 1/4 Cups Flour                                                                      1/2 Cup Coconut

  1/4 Cup Special Dark Cocoa Powder                                       1/2 Cup Coconut Powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put all ingredients in a large bowl and use your hands to mash it together until your oven is heated.  Keep mashing as long as you like.  Once you have worked out your frustrations, drop by 2 Tbs scoops onto a cookie sheet.  Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until  crispy.

Cool completely and store in an airtight container.  Makes 72 cookies.
