Coconut Oatmeal Cookies:
What you’ll need:
·
1 cup all-purpose flour
·
½ tsp. baking powder
·
½ tsp. salt
·
½ tsp. baking soda
·
½ cup butter or shortening (we used butter)
·
½ cup granulated shugar
·
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
·
1 egg
·
1 tsp. vanilla
·
1 cup quick rolled oats (we used Quaker)
·
1 cup angel flake coconut
What you’ll need to do:
Mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla.
Beat Well.
Add flour mixture in four parts. Beat until smooth each time.
Mix in rolled oats and coconuts.
Drop by spoonful onto ungreased baking sheets.
Sprinkle with additional coconut and bake on
350 degrees for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Although these treats were not as delicious as our last tropical escapade, they were quite delicious. If you cook them the full nine minutes, they get a little crispy, so our advice is to back it down to seven or eight minutes to get a nice gooey cookie. We also commented on how they weren't quite as coconutty as we'd hoped they'd be, so if you're a big coconut fan, you might try adding a few more flakes than the recipe calls for. :)
Until next time!! Also! Be on the lookout for our new tab: Ms. Claire's Crockpot Creations. :)
