• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed (I prefer dark brown)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 cups oatmeal (quick or regular)

5. 5

   Stir in oats, pineapple and coconut.

6. 6

   Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dough 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet (I always use a silpat on my baking sheets - you never have burned cookies with one!).

   Remove from oven, cool on sheet for about 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in airtight container.
