Oatmeal Cookies
You must try these cookies. They will soon become your favorite! These can be chewy or crunchy depending on the texture you like in a cookie. This was my Welsh grandmother's recipe that has been enjoyed throughout the years. You can double the recipe, the cookies freeze well.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp. soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- juice of a whole lemon
Preparation
Step 1
Cream butter, add brown sugar and white sugar, blend. Beat in the egg. Add vanilla & lemon juice. Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, & baking powder together. Add the flour mixture to the rest of the cookie batter. Stir in rolled oats, coconut & walnuts.
Step 2
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 F until slightly golden. Under bake the cookie if you want a chewy cookie.
If you bake your cookies on parchment paper it stops the bottoms from burning and makes for an easy clean up. For a chewier cookie pull them out of the oven earlier. For a crunchy cookie, bake until golden brown.
