Sunday Dinner + Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

I made dinner for the 4 of us + Uncle Steve tonight and it was nothing super special but it was really good and we all sat around for a long time just laughing at the girls being silly. It was a perfect Sunday evening dinner :)

Cheeseburgers (with the organic beef from the farm we visited yesterday), Cascadian Farm organic shoestring fries, and sauteed garlic green beans.

Hungry! Like her "cheeseburger"?

Going in for the kill...

She tore it up! She ate all but a couple bites of the roll!

And for dessert I took some Coconut Oatmeal Cookie dough out of the freezer and baked it up nice and fresh. I made this dough a month or so ago and froze half for later. Later being today! We all love these chewy cookies. So much in fact that I caught Cora stealing  a THIRD one off the counter tonight. Stinker!

Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

1 C granulated sugar
1 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 C butter, softened to cool room temperature
2 t vanilla
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 1/2 C flour
1 C shredded, sweetened coconut
1 C quick oats

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream together the sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are set but not overly browned (bake a few minutes longer for a crispier version).
