Coconut and oats cookies

I found this recipe in one of the books that I bought over the years. It is very simple and I should say quite healthy. The book doesn’t have an author is just a collection of recipes. I should probably mention that the book is from a charity shop.

Ingredients:

1¼ all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon soda

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup butter (or margarine)

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup uncooked oats

1 cup flaked or shredded coconut

Place flour, baking powder, soda and salt into a bowl a mix together. Add sugar, brown sugar, butter, egg and vanilla and beat until smoot. Stir in oats and coconut.
Shape to form 1-inch cookies and place them on greased cooking sheets. Bake in preheated oven (180 degrees) for 12 – 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cool.

And here it is how lovely the cookies look:
