2 c. butter (or regular margarine)
2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
2 c. sugar
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
3 c. sifted flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
6 c quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 c flaked coconut
3/4 c chopped nuts (I used English Walnuts - but Pecans are delicious)
Cream together butter and brown and white sugars until fluffy. Stir in vanilla; then add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
Sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in rolled oats and coconut. (This is a very thick mixture) Drop by teaspoonfuls about 2" apart onto well-greased baking sheet. (I use the Air-bake and do not grease)
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) 10 to 15 minutes (I baked for 11 minutes). Cool cookies on racks. Makes 14 dozen. (This is one of my very favorite cookie recipes because it makes so many, and they do freeze well.)
I have also added raisins and love them, but not everyone is fond of these little thingees!
