I sent my kids off to their first day of school. I think I'm was more nervous than they were. I want to welcome them home with a great snack, so I made cookies this morning, then shaped the dough into logs and put them in the freezer. I'll time it so they are coming out of the oven right when they get home. It's a cool, slightly rainy day and hot oatmeal cookies with big glasses of milk will be perfect. I have two extra logs for anyone who leaves me a fabulous comment. You don't have to have kids at school, but you do have to live by me. Leave me a comment and I'll drop them by. For everyone else, here's the recipe:
Grandma Stanley's Oatmeal Cookies
Cream:
1 C. butter (I like to melt it, but you can cream it also)
2 eggs
1 C. brown sugar
1 C. sugar
1 t. vanilla
Add:
2 C. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
Fold in:
1 1/2 C. coconut
1 1/2 C. oatmeal
Bake at 375 for 8 min. (I know what you are thinking, "No chocolate! How can these even be considered cookies! They are more like breakfast food." I agree. I added 1+ C. milk chocolate chips).

Yes! I'm the first to leave a comment, and you linked to my blog, and I live the closest. Can I just try one? I'm trying to detox from the Utah binge of Kouing Aman and other goodies. I'm willing to make a small sacrifice for your delicious cookies. I dub thee the "Cookie Master." Really, Erin, you make the best cookies.
Again, I wish I lived near you....
The kids look great and so do your flowers. The day has passed quickly, right?
Enjoy your cookies and come up after school to play in the yard if you wish!
Beautiful children! Happy day!

Beautiful children! The recipe came from a fellow teacher when we were living in Hooper Bay, Alaska, and I was expecting Josh.
Love, Grandma Stanley-Mac
