Recipe posted by blondeGeek?

Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 large pkg. chocolate chips (I use 3 cups)
2 large eggs
2 cups oats
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cans coconut
Directions
Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs, flour, salt, and soda. Add vanilla, oats, coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350º (F) for 15 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen.
Notes
I use real Mexican vanilla. It is wonderfully aromatic without the bitter edge that most vanillas have.
