Recipe - Oatmeal Cocoanut Crisps

2 cup Butter
2 cup Brown sugar
2 cup White sugar
2 Teas vanilla
4 Eggs
3 cup Sifted flour (I never sift)
2 Teas salt
2 Teas baking soda
6 cup Quick oats
1 One half cup Cocoanut

Cream together butter and sugars until fluffy. Stir in vanilla, then add
eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift together flour,
salt, and soda. (I just stir together.) Add to creamed misture. Stir in
rolled oats and cocoanut. Drop by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto
wellgreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool
on rack.

**OR**omit cocoanut, divide dough into thirds. Add 1/3 cup cocoanut to a
third, add 1/3 cup raisins to a third, and add 1/3 cup chopped nuts to the
final third. **OR** you can just omit cocoanut and add nothing.

This recipe makes 14 to 16 dozen depending on how big a spoonful you drop.
They freeze MAGNIFICENTLY, actually taste better, brings out the butter
flavor or something.
