Step 1

Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugars until light. Beat in vanilla and eggs, 1 at a time. Add combined flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; mix well. Stir in cereal, oats and coconut. Drop by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Flatten to 2-inch circles. Bake at 350 F for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
