- Allow the cookies to cool for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add another tablespoon of milk if the consistency is too thick.

Notes
- You can also use a hand mixer and a glass bowl.
- If you only have unsalted butter, add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the dough.
- Try adding chocolate chips, pecans or walnuts to the cookies.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature. These cookies freeze well! Because the coconut oatmeal cookies have frosting, you'll want to store the cookies in a single layer. If you stack them, the frosting may come right off and that's no fun. Store in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
