Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

I've had this cookie recipe since Marc and I began dating in 1978; best oatmeal cookie recipe!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

1 1/2 c flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda1/2 c butter at room temperature

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c dark brown sugar

1 egg at room temperature

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 c quick oats

1 cup sweetened coconut

Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Add flour and dry ingredients, and beat until smooth. Mix in oats and coconut. Use a scoop to portion cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. You can bake as is or use a glass to flatten the cookies a bit; I like to flatten them. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 9-12 minutes or until golden.
