Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground allspice
2 pinches salt
1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups quick cooking oats

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat egg, molasses, and vanilla into butter mixture until blended. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture until dough forms; fold in oats and coconut until just combined.
