Grandmother’s Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup oats
• 1 cup crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
• 1 cup flaked coconut

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg one at a time, allowing the first to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next with the vanilla.

Stir flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Beat into the butter mixture until just incorporated into a dough. Fold oats, crispy rice cereal, and coconut into the dough; mixing just enough to evenly combine.

Drop cookie dough by teaspoonful onto baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven until browned, 8 to 9 minutes. Cool cookies slightly on baking sheets before moving to cooling racks to cool completely.
