2 c Butter
2 c Brown sugar
2 c White sugar
2 ts Vanilla
4 Eggs
3 c Sifted flour
2 ts Salt
2 ts Baking soda
6 c Quick oats
1 1/2 c Cocoanut
Cream together butter and sugars until fluffy. Stir in
vanilla, then add eggs, one at a time, beating after each
addition. Sift together flour, salt, and soda. (I just
stir together.) Add to creamed mixture. Stir in rolled
oats and cocoanut. Drop by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches
apart onto well-greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees
for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on rack.
**OR**omit cocoanut, divide dough into thirds. Add 1/3
cup cocoanut to a third, add 1/3 cup raisins to a third,
and add 1/3 cup chopped nuts to the final third.
**OR** you can just omit cocoanut and add nothing.
This recipe makes 14 to 16 dozen depending on how big a
spoonful you drop. They freeze MAGNIFICENTLY, actually
taste better, brings out the butter flavor or something.
