OATMEAL COCONUT COOKIES—Anne Judd--a friend of Lynne's

These are so good, they look and taste like they came from a fine bakery.

1 ½ cups butter
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ cps brown sugar
3 eggs
1 Tbs. vanilla
4 1/4 cups flour
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
1 ½ baking soda
1 ½ tsp. salt
3 cups coconut
2 cups oatmeal

Cream together the butter, sugars and vanilla. Then add in the dry ingredients, mix well. It will be a stiff dough. Scoop out spoonfuls onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Press down lightly on each cookie. Place in a 375° oven and bake for 11 minutes. Can add chocolate chips if desired.
