Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

This is a very special recipe all the way from Sweden and my Mom's Mothers recipe.  Enjoy it.   The only change I have made is sometimes I throw in some rice krispies at the end to give it more crunch.

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar (can be less)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg well beaten
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 3/4 cup coconut
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tsp soda
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla
• raisins, chocolate chips or nuts are optional

If the batter is too thick, add some milk.  Drop onto a cookie sheet.  Flatten with a fork.

Bake 8 - 10 minutes 365 degrees
