One of Grandma Dorothy's much sought-after recipes is for Dad's cookies. These oatmeal cookies are wonderfully chewy and are made with oil instead of butter or margarine, appealing to the health-conscious. One cookie is never enough!

Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
0.75 teaspoons salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1.5 cups rolled oats
0.5 cups flaked coconut
0.75 cups vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2

Stir together flour, baking soda, salt, white sugar, brown sugar, oats, and coconut in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well using your hands or a wooden spoon.
3

Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with a fork.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until very light brown and chewy, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool briefly on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
