Coconut Crisps

 

1 C flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

3/4 C butter

3/4 C white sugar

3/4 C brown sugar (packed)

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 C rolled oats

1 C flaked coconut

 

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt.  Set aside. Cream butter and sugar till light. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in the flour mixture, vanilla, and oatmeal, then coconut. Drop by rounded teaspoons on greased cookie sheet. Bake in 375 degree oven for about ten minutes. Yield four or five dozen.  They will be soft when you take them out of the oven.  Leave on cookie sheet for five minutes and then, using lifter, transfer to clean cookie sheet.  Easier to remove before they crisp up completely.
