Ingredients:

• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 2 eggs

Instructions:

3. Add flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and rolled oats to the creamed mixture. Stir until well combined.

4. Stir in shredded coconut, eggs, vanilla extract, and chopped nuts (if using), ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

5. Drop the cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet, or for a more uniform appearance, roll the dough into ping pong-sized balls and place them evenly spaced on the sheet.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges.

7. Cool the cookies on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Tips:

• Variations: Feel free to add dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for added sweetness and texture.
• Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
• Serve: These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of milk, hot cocoa, or your favorite tea.
