Coconut Crisps

Hi everyone! I saw this recipe at Mennonite Girls Can Cook and couldn't wait to make them on Sunday.
Coconut's a favorite of mine so I wanted to share a little Bloggy Love:@)
Mine turned out a bit more chewy than crisp, but they are oh so good!
My grown sons each ate three or four before dinner-who raised those boys anyway???
I will definitely make these again, possible additions:
Pecans, raisins or drizzled with melted chocolate. 
Coconut Crisps
Ingredients:
1 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 C butter
3/4 C sugar
3/4 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 C rolled oats
1 C flaked coconut

Directions:
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
Cream butter and sugar till light.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Stir in flour mixture, vanilla and oats, then coconut.
Drop by rounded tsp on greased cookie sheet. (I used parchment)
Bake at 375 degrees about 10 minutes.
They will be soft out of the oven, leave on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to clean cookie sheet. (I put them on a cooling rack.)

Just a reminder about my Celebrity Cook-Along on March 15th!
