Oatmeal Coconut Chewy Cookies

Oatmeal Coconut Chewy Cookies



What you need: 1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to cool room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
1 cup quick oats

What you do:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl cream together the sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased or lined (silpat or parchment) baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are set but not overly browned (bake a few minutes longer for a crispier version).

These were tasty! Not too sweet but sweet enough to be dessert! We added CHOCOLATE CHIPS for the last 2 dozen of the mix. They added a nice chocolate taste, but I actually liked them better without the chocolate chips.
