Oatmeal Coconut Chewies


Usually I am not a fan of cookies that don't have frosting or chocolate in them.  I saw these one evening on Sisters Cafe and they seemed simple and easy.  They rocked!  I couldn't eat enough.  I love that they are chewy, but still have some crispness. I even made my kids eat store bought cookies so I could have the last three.   Delicious!

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to cool room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
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 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).
