Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Here's a big batch of old-fashioned, moist cookies!
You'll be looking for a glass of milk to go with them as soon as they come out of the oven!

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 tsps coconut extract (or vanilla, almond)

1 cup brown sugar

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

2 cups oats

1 cup coconut

Cream together the butter, sugars, eggs and extract. Set aside.

Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the butter mixture in 3 additions until combined.

I divided my cookie dough in half and baked one half as is. I topped them with a little extra coconut before popping them in the oven.

To the second half I mixed in 1/2 cup dried cranberries and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips.

Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets and bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. Cool.

Here's the Coconut Oatmeal half of the batch...

and here are the one's with added cranberry and white chocolate chips.

You can't go wrong either way  : )
