Would you like to make Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Here's a recipe for cookies that i found today. I recently baked a chocolate cake and it went well so i have to try cookies now. This recipe looks simple and it's eggless as well. What more could i need? Yes, i am going to make these soon. Feel free to drop by. For a cup of green tea, conversation and some cookies.

2 cups rolled oats 
1 cup unbleached white flour or brown rice flour
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or raisins

Oven: 350ºF / 180ºC

Combine oats, flour, coconut, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl whisk syrup, oil and vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine. Fold in nuts and chips/raisins. Press dough together into small balls and place onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake 16 minutes or until lightly browned.
