Oatmeal Coconut Pecan Cookies

You can't go wrong with a good oatmeal cookie.  I know not everyone likes coconut but it really works in this recipe.  

They bake up nice and golden brown.

Make sure to use regular oats.

Start with 2 sticks softened butter.

Add 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup sugar.  Mix well with the butter.

Add 2 eggs. One at a time.

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon.  As you can see I made it a heaping teaspoon.

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour.  Mix well after each addition.

2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats

1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

1 cup chopped pecans.  I let the food processor do the work.  Mix everything well.

Scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet.  These are ready for the freezer.  When ready to bake preheat the oven to 350.  Bake for 12 minutes.  The directions say you can use 1 Tablespoon butter to grease the cookie sheets.  I still use parchment.

Enjoy.
