Ranger Cookies

I made these cookies last weekend to take camping for the 4th of July and everyone gobbled them down (even people who "didn't like" coconut), so this recipe is definitely a KEEPER. I love the brown sugar sweetness, the toasted coconut and the way the cookie has a sweet and salty flavor. I added the butterscotch chips, but chocolate chips would be yummy too. Enjoy!
