Mookie (Oatmeal Cookies)

• 1 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups regular rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup sweetened dried shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup raisins

1. Mix butter and brown sugar until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Combine oats, flour, salt, and baking powder. Blend oat mixture with butter mixture.
2. Stir in walnuts, coconut and raisins.*.
3. Pack cookie dough into an ice cream scoop (4 oz size) or 1/2 cup measuring cup, scrape dough level with rim, and empty onto lightly oiled baking sheets, spacing dough about 3 inches apart.
4. Bake in 350 oven until cookie edges are golden brown about 20 minutes. Cool cookies on a rack, serve or store airtight for up to 2 days.
5. *TIPS: I have never added the walnuts, coconut or raisins to this recipe, so I do not know how they will turn out with them. BUT -- They are AWESOME without them!
6. Also, I have made this using the 1/2 cup measuring cup, and by the teaspoon, I believe they taste waaay better when measuring the dough by 1/2 cup!
