Howler Cookies

¾ cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ¼ cups quick cooking oats

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped pecans

¾ cup flaked coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir into the wet mixture until just blended. Finally, fold in the pecans and coconut. Dough may be a little dry. Shape dough into walnut sized mounds and place 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Cool on baking sheets.
