Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

My friend Molly LOVES coconut.  And, she's full term preggo - hopefully delivering any day now!  So, I figured that she might want a cookie or two after alla that hard work...  

I can't remember where I found this recipe but it is delish:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugars until fluffy.  Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.  In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.  Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until well combined.  Stir in oats, coconut and chocolate chips.  

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto Silpats and bake for 10 - 12 minutes.  Cool for a minute on baking sheet than remove to a wire rack to cool completely.  Store in an airtight container.

As I type this, Molly's dozen sits in my freezer...  just waiting for Baby Girl to get around to making her grand entrance!!!
