COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES

A weekend with my cousin.  I like to bring a treat. It is always a good visit.  

COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 stick butter, softened

1 egg

3/4 cup old fashioned oats

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used mini chips)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well.  In another bowl, cream together the sugars and butter till smooth.  Add egg and vanilla.  Combine dry ingredients.  Mix together well.  Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.  Scoop tablespoons of dough and place on prepared pan with parchment paper.  These cookies spread quite a bit, so space at least 2 inches apart.  Bake at 350 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes till golden brown.
