This recipe was in the second edition of the Messiah Hales Corners Cookbook. It would be my top pick for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. The large flaked coconut keeps them chewy and should not be skipped. I first found the coconut chips at a health food store in Madison. It takes a little to track them down but I have been able to every place we have lived. Cream: 1 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups brown sugar Add: 2 egss Mix and add to cream mixture: 2 cups rolled oats 2 cups flour 1 tsp bkg soda 1/2 salt 1 1/2 tsp vanilla Stir in: 1 cup coconut chips 12 oz chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts (op) Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes.
