4/6/20 Aunt Myrtle' Coconut Oat Cookies

• 
  

  Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted   (I substituted craisins)
  • Preheat oven to 375°. (used 350) In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in coconut, oats and craisins.  On a side note, when I was gathering
    ingredients, I found three cans of baking powder, one expired in 1997, on one I could not find an exp. date and the third had expired but at least it expired in this century.  Two of these went into the trash.

    
  • Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
