Oatmeal Cookies (with pudding)

1 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup softened butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding (4 serving size)
2 eggs
1/2 cup coconut
3 1/2 cups regular oatmeal (not instant)

In a small bowl, combine flour and baking soda.  Set aside.  In a large bowl combine both sugars, softened butter, vanilla, and vanilla pudding powder.  Using electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Stir in flour mixture, then coconut and then oatmeal.  Mix well.
Drop by teaspoonful onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.  Using the tines of a fork, flatten each cookie slightly.
Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. or until slightly golden - Do not over bake.
