Dad's Cookies

We've been enjoying some stellar Dad's Cookies (actually made by Grandfather) over the past few months. I just made my own batch, and Mom says they actually taste like (my) Baba's! So, here's a very successful family recipe for these delicious snacks. We served them to Italian friends last weekend, and although I said they weren't "brutti ma buoni" they are actually brutti (ugly) ma buoni (good)! When Dad makes them they aren't ugly, of course, but my version certainly were!

2 eggs
2c Becel
1/2 to 1c white sugar
1c brown sugar
2tsp vanilla

Add in (already mixed):
3c flour
3c oatmeal
2tsp baking soda
2tsp baking powder

1 1/2c coconut
