directions

  • Melt butter on the stove, then mix in sugar and brown sugar. DO NOT BOIL. Remove from heat. Pour butter and sugar mixture into a large mixing bowl and add eggs and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Add baking powder, soda, salt, and finally the flour. Mix ingredient for about three minutes on high speed. Add quick oats and coconut. Mix for two more minutes. Then decide if raisins OR chocolate chips are your desire, and add them. (This cookie can stand on its own too, if you choose!).
  • Bake: 350 Degrees Time: 10 Minutes.
  • **This cookie dough can be rolled into cookie balls and frozen until you need them. So make them all now or just a few and freeze what you want to make later.

  1. These are wonderful cookies!! I used old fashioned oats instead of the quick oats, and I added 1 cup chopped walnuts instead of the raisins or chocolate chips. I dropped these by TBSP. onto greased cookie sheets, and I'm not sure why, but I got 65 average-size cookies instead of 36. I baked them for 10 mins. and they were perfectly browned. My family devoured these in a hurry. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!! *Made for Fall 2009 PAC*
     
  2. Excellent cookies! I wasn't sure that I would like the coconut but even the coconut haters in the family loved these. Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for PAC Spring 2009.
     
  3. This is a great cookie recipe. I don't even like coconut and i like these cookies. I took them to work and they were gobbled up. I followed the ingredients per recipe. I did not add chocolate chips because we didn't have any.
     
  4. These are FANTASTIC cookies. mmmmmmmmm Gabby Abby is fixing the recipe with the time to cook them and at what temp. It is 350 degrees for 10 minutes. They did indeed bake into a rich carmel color, but I had to bake them for 13 minutes. They spread into HUGE cookies, and are the best oatmeal cookie recipe I have ever had! FAIR WARNING.....my beaters broke while making this recipe! LOL It is a thick and heavy dough once you add in the flour, so be careful with what you use. Thanks Gabby! These are the bomb!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Junior High School teacher who loves to try new recipes and cook for large crowds! I am always looking for fun recipes to spice up my dinner table. I have been married for 13 years this December, have three beautiful children, and my best friend is a recipezaar groupie!!!! She is one of the most wonderful people I know, with the biggest heart and she helped me get onto this website and into this great group. For fun, I like to work outside, sew, exercise, watch movies and play with my kids. My husband and I like to go "Antique Shopping". I guess I am what you would call an "old soul." I love old and aged decor. I have a passion for music and play the piano. I love the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" and think that Gerard Butler is fab! Some pet peeves I have is when people don't say "thank you" when someone has helped them. I can't stand people who feel entitled to things just because of who they are! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
