Coconut Ginger Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Description
The basic oatmeal raisin cookie recipe gets a little spicier and a little heartier thanks to coconut and ginger added to the dough.

•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until smooth and creamy; add egg and beat until light and creamy. Stir oats, coconut, raisins, and ginger mixture into creamed butter mixture until well mixed. Add flour mixture to butter-oats mixture and stir until dough is well mixed.
