these are the absolute best!!! I think the coconut helps keep moist plus not over baking. Even people who don't like coconut likes them (my brother).
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (Watkins)
1 c. butter
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 tsp cinnamon (I don't use this)
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 c. oats (old fashion)
1 c. chopped pecans
1 c. raisins
1/2 c. coconut
cream first 6 ingredients together. Stir in flour, soda, salt & oats. Mix well.
Stir in nuts, raisins, & coconut.
Form into 1 1/2" balls or drop by Tbsp on greased sheet. Flatten with fork.
I mix mine a day ahead and keep in fridge. take out about an hour ahead of time to soften.
Bake at 350 9-10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE!
