- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
5 dozen
ingredients
- 473.18 ml butter, at room temperature (the recipe called for butter or margarine. I used Blue Bonnet Margarine)
- 473.18 ml light brown sugar, firmly packed down
- 473.18 ml granulated sugar
- 9.85 ml pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 709.77 ml all-purpose flour
- 9.85 ml salt
- 9.85 ml baking soda
- 1419.54 ml quick-cooking rolled oats
- 354.88 ml flaked coconut (I used 2 and 3/4 cups of flaked coconut-the extra amount of coconut makes for a really tasty cookie!)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet well with vegetable shortening.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both types of sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and then eggs, one at a time, beating after each egg addition.
- In medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine with a wire whisk, the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- By hand, add the flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time to the creamed butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each flour addition.
- Stir in, by hand, the rolled oats and coconut; mix well.
- Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 and 1/2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. (The cookies will have more of a rounded shape to them if a 1 and 1/2 inch cookie scoop is used-I slightly mound the dough in the scoop).
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep a close watch on the cookies if you bake them longer than 10 minutes.
- Remove cookies from baking sheet and cool on wire racks.

I made half the recipe and got 30 cookies. I thought I had coconut but I didn't have any. So I had to omit it. But I want to try these cookies with coconut cause I love coconut. But without, they're delicious. They spread a lot. That gives a great cookie. The taste is really good. Not too sweet even though I may try to reduce the amount of sugar next time. Thanks Recipe Gal :) Made for PAC Spring 2010
