How to Make Dad's Cookies Copycat

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your cookie sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 1 cup rolled oats.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
