Oatmeal Coconut Pecan Cookies.

I ran across this recipe this morning on another food blog (can't remember which one, sadly) and made them tonight. They are fantastic!

Oatmeal Coconut Pecan Cookies

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 all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut (toasting is optional)
1 cup quick oats
1 cup chopped pecans (again, toasting first is optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream together the sugars, eggs, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes until cookies are lightly browned. Made 95 cookies for me. Recipe could be easily halved if necessary, although I can't imagine why anyone would.

Optional additions:

1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup rice krispies
1 cup crushed corn flakes
1 tsp. almond flavoring
