Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

If you like coconut, oatmeal and chocolate, you'll probably love these cookies-I did.  They are so soft and good.  I found them on a blog I was stalking (what a great past time), and it is one I will frequent more.  Check it out: This week for Dinner.  And check out these cookies too!



 Originally from Barbara Boczany but found on This week for Dinner

Ingredients:
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (I used salted butter because it was all I had, but you have to cut the added salt in halfish)
- 1 C brown sugar, packed
- 6 T sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1 C flour
- 2 1/4 C oats
- 1 1/2 C coconut
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chunks (2 cups) (I used mini chocolate chips)
- 3/4 C chopped almonds

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. 
2. Beat butter and sugars at high speed until fluffy. 
3. Add eggs and beat till blended. Beat in vanilla, baking soda, and salt. 
4. Add flour and mix at low speed until blended. 
5. Stir in oats, coconut, chocolate and almonds.
6. Arrange 1/4 cup mounds about 3 inches apart on large buttered baking sheets. Pat down to 1/2 inch. Bake in upper oven, rotation occasionally, 15-18 mins. ( I made mine smaller and cooked for 11-13 min, but I also made some 1/4 cup sized cookies and like the gooeyness of those better than the small ones).
7. Cool one minute. Transfer to cooling rack.
