Directions

1. Preheat oven to 385 degrees.
2. Spread oats and coconut on dry pan - cook until slightly crispy/brown. (shouldn't be more than 7 minutes so keep an eye on it.)
3. In a large mixing bowl - use an electric mixer to mix the (softened) butter, sugar and brown sugar.
4. Add eggs in one at a time then add the vanilla.
5. In a separate bowl - mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Once mixed, pour into the egg+sugar batter and mix together.
