Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

I decided that these are actually healthy cookies.  I changed the recipe and made some substitutions that make me feel a little less guilty about eating them.  I used Eggbeaters instead of the egg and whole wheat pastry flour instead of the all purpose flour.  Also, I used a stick of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter instead of real butter. I found the recipe on The Ungourmet.
