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.

1 can diet coke (or diet pepsi works too)
1 cake mix (devil's food is my favorite)

1 skor bar broken in pieces, or strawberries, or blueberries, or whatever you want to top it with
1 8x8 pan, spray with pam
Preheat oven to 350
Mix the diet coke and the cake mix together (that's it-don't add anything else) until the cake batter is moistened. Pore into greased 8x8 pan and bake according to directions on the box. When cake is done and cooled top with whipped cream and fun topping of your choice and enjoy!
