• Stir in oats, coconut, pecans, and Andes baking chips.

• Bake for 20 minutes for large cookies or 12-15 minutes for small. Do not overbake.

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well blended. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls.
