For an extra layer of flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown before adding it to the dough. Be sure to watch it carefully as it can burn easily. Feel free to substitute other types of cereal flakes for the whole wheat flakes. Corn flakes or rice flakes would also work well. These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
