1 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups flour
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 teaspoon salt

Variation: Add 1 cup of chocolate chips or 1 cup of raisins.
Yield: 5 dozen cookies

Melt butter; add sugars and eggs. Sift together flour, salt, baking
powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir into sugar mixture until well
blended. Stir in oats and coconut. If desired add chocolate chips or
raisins. Roll into small balls. Place balls on a greased cookie sheet and
press the dough down with a fork. Bake in a 350 oven for 8 to 10 minutes
or until done. These cookies are best used to bribe the chilren into picking up all the toys in their filthy rooms. Good luck.
