My Grandma's Chocolate Chip Coconut/Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

1 C (2 sticks) Butter, softened
1 C White Sugar
1 C Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
2 C Flour
2 C Oatmeal
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 C Coconut, toasted (**see below)
1/2 C Nuts (I use ** toasted chopped pecans)
1 1/2 C Chocolate Chips

Cream butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour, oatmeal, b soda, b powder, salt and blend all together well. Remove and stir in coconut, nuts, and chocolate chips. Bake on greased cookie sheet for approx 10-11 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool slightly before removing from pan. Yummy!

** Toasting coconut & nuts: I do this before beginning the cookies so they can cool before being stirred into cookies. Place coconut in small pan into 350 degree oven for approx 12 minutes. Remove and stir every 2 minutes or more often toward the end when beginning to brown. Remove and do the same for the nuts except 5-6 minutes stirring every 1-2 minutes.
