Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Just a little pick me up for the week ;) These are some of my favorite cookies to make but very dangerous to leave sitting on the counter, you can easily down 2-3 without thinking!

Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies:

1 cup butter

1 1/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 cap fulls vanilla extract

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder.

2 1/4 cups flour

1 cup quick cooking oats

1 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

3/4 bag dark chocolate or semi-sweet chips (optional)

A whole lot of Love<3

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Soften butter and mix with sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time. Add rest of the ingredients and stir until just fully mixed, (do not over stir!! that will make for a less delicious cookie!!)

Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. bake for exactly 9 minutes. Using a metal spatula, almost immediately remove cookies from baking sheet and onto a cooling rack or counter top.

Devour.

Or you can crumble the warm gooey cookies over some vanilla ice cream!
