As far as cookies go, these are just about the best kind for my tastes! Oats, coconut, vanilla, (and finely chopped nuts if you want to throw those in too.) Oh, heaven. These are so yummy.
1/2 c. butter or shortening
1 1/4 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 c. rolled oats (not the instant kind)
1 1/3 c. flaked coconut
and if you are so inclined...
1 c. raisins
(although I usually throw in 1/2 c. finely chopped almonds or pecans instead)
Beat butter until fluffy (about 30 seconds will do) with an electric mixer on medium to high speed. Add the sugars, egg and vanilla. Mix half the flour with the baking soda and baking powder and blend with dough. Add the rest of the flour. Stir in oats, coconut, and raisins/nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto un-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375* for about 8 minutes. Transfer cookies to rack to cool.
