Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
2-1/2 cups shredded coconut
2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1 cup chopped walnuts of pecans (I don't usually use them, but the original recipe calls for them)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Line your baking sheets with parchment or if not using parchment paper, grease lightly with shortening - do not use cooking spray they will spread too much.

Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy. Add eggs, beat well. Add vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to butter/sugar mixture, mix until well combined. Stir in coconut and nuts, if using, then stir in oatmeal.

Drop on cookie sheets by teaspoonfuls, about an inch apart. Bake 12-14 minutes, just until the edges begin to brown - don't overbake, you will have a crispy cookie. If you take them out just as the edges brown, even if the top looks not quite done, you will have a chewy cookie. Remove cookies to a cooling rack immediately after taking out of the oven.

Personal Notes:
These are my husband Jim's favorite cookies. I have found that even people who don't really like coconut enjoy these cookies.
