My Nana used to make these for us when we were children. They are good with milk. I have reviewed, and made these several times and they are exactly as I remember them. If you leave them in longer than 15 min you get them just a bit too brown, which is the way I like them.

Cream these three and add,
3 eggs,

2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 4 cups rolled, oats quick cook kind 1 cup coconut sweetened Roll into small balls and refrigerate, press onto a greased cookie sheet with a fork, place in a preheated 350 oven for 15 to 20 min.
This produces a bake sale amount of cookies. I used a melon scoop to put the chilled dough on the trays.
