Cranberry Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

The boys and I just baked 3 dozen cookies. I wanted to make some for Dylan's snacktime at school. His first request was chocolate chip, but I prefered to make something withOUT chocolate, so this was our comprimise. They both love cranberries and coconut is a great addition to anything. These cookies beat out pre-packaged cookies any day! Enjoy!

Cranberry Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup coconut
• 1/2 cup cranberries

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Once fluffy, add egg and vanilla and continue to cream for 2 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda and baking powder. Add dry mixture to creamed mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in coconut and cranberries.
4. Form cookie dough into small (loose) golf-ball sized lumps, and drop onto cookie sheets. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until JUST starting to lightly brown (don't overbake or they will go hard!).
5. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack or your tummy! ENJOY!
