Coconut Crisp Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 stick butter (1/4 pound or 8 Tbsp.)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup coconut
• 1 cup sifted all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1 cup rolled oats

Directions:

Cream butter; add sugars gradually, mixing well after each addition. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Sift together dry ingredients, except oats. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture. Stir in oats and coconut. Drop by teaspoonful onto a ungreased baking sheet. Bake in 350 degrees F oven for 12-15 minutes. Makes 3 dozen.

If you like coconut, these are really good. We'd found some cookies while on vacation in the South, we liked. We tried this recipe in hopes of finding that recipe. It's as close as we've come in likeness to those.
