Oatmeal Coconut Chewies


These little cookies are a perfect blend of oatmeal and coconut and my favorite part about them - they're soft!  I say a person can't ever have too many cookie recipes.

Oatmeal Coconut Chewies

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour (If you live at a high altitude like I do, you may want to add an extra 1/2 cup of flour for a slightly puffier cookie.)
1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
1 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 for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are set but not overly browned.
