Marilyn Morris’s Oatmeal Cookies

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 cup butter
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup coconut (optional)
• 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips

Drop on greased cookie sheet & press with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.  I like to soak the raisins in boiling water for 10 minutes and drain.
