Royal Coconut Cookies Tips for Success

• Treat yourself to some SilPats (view here), if you’d like to never grease another cookie sheet. 
• Always soften butter before baking with it (helpful article here). 
• Some versions of this recipe call for 1/2 t. vanilla or 1/2 t. almond, rather than some of each. 
• Quick (One Minute) oats are my preference, but it works with any form of oats. 
• A fun thing about Royal Coconut Cookies is that you can get a totally different cookie, depending upon how long you bake them. Less time produces a tender cookie. More time allows the sugar to caramelize and the butter to brown, which delivers a more flavorful, crunchy cookie.
