I use the " Pride of Iowa" recipe. Almost identical to the one posted by Watson58.
1 c. butter
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 c. flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 c. oats
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1 c. coconut
cream sugars and butter together, add eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients. Scoop by Tbsp onto pan and flatten. Bake 350 for 10/12 minutes. These stay nice and chewy/soft. Even my DH who does not like coconut likes these.
Some where buried in my mom's cookbooks there is a recipe for oatmeal molasses cookies. They are also nice and soft but travel well. I have not been able to find the recipe for years now so if anyone would have one I would love to have it
