Ingredients

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup flaked coconut
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
In a small bowl, pour boiling water over oats. Mix well, and cool.
In a large bowl, combine butter or margarine, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Add cooled oatmeal mixture, and stir to combine. Pour batter into pan.
