1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1/4 cup finely chopped dark chocolate
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients; stir with a whisk.

Place sugars and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 2 minutes). Add egg, beating well. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in coconut and chocolate.

Scrape dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 24 portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Place 12 balls on each of 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray; flatten slightly with heel of your hand. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, at 350 for 15 minutes or until tops are set and cookies are lightly browned on bottoms. Remove cookies from pan; cool on wire racks.
