Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

So here's the recipe I love. The one that never fails me. THIS is the recipe that I have modified myself from years of using adding my own variations. I started making cookies with my older brothers. They taught me to add more brown sugar than white sugar. Then I got the coconut added in from my Aunt. I can't remember when I started adding in the Baking Powder. I just think it gives the cookies more ooomph. haha. And I figured out that using COLD crisco makes the cookies more firm. I don't like it when my cookies get all runny. You ever use butter that's too melted and notice how the cookie dough just doesn't look right? I don't know, maybe YOU like that. I hope you enjoy. I DO! And of course, I ALWAYS make a double batch. Silly.
