Mookie (Oatmeal Cookies) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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.
Stir in walnuts, coconut and raisins.*.
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.
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.
*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!
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!
