COCONUT OATMEAL COOKIES
This was yet another great find from pinterest. If one day pinterest no longer exists I will have this blog to keep my favorite recipes. Besides I always modify recipes slightly. These cookies were so easy to make. They just take a few minutes to whip up and come out perfectly chewy.
1 C butter
1 C sugar
1 C brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 C flour
2 C oatmeal
1 1/2 C coconut
*Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix together until smooth. In a separate bowl combine salt, baking powder, baking soda and four. Sift together then add to butter mix. Stir in oatmeal and coconut. Spoon onto greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Seeing as we live in a higher altitude I added a little extra flour than the original recipe called for. I also love coconut so my recipe includes a little more than called for. I also thought it was a little weird that the original recipe said to grease the cookie sheet, however greasing the cookie sheet turned out perfect.
These cookies would also be good with nuts and chocolate chips. I think pecans and semisweet chocolate chips would be good or white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
