1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar2 eggs1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to cool room temperature2 teaspoons vanilla1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt2 1/2 cups flour (I have added an extra 1/2 cup of flour, and it makes them slightly puffier – well, less flat anyway – at my altitude)1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut1 cup quick oats
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).
