Ingredients
- 1-¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2-¼ cups rolled oats
- 1-½ cups sweetened shredded coconut (200 grams)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a hand mixer, beat butter and both sugars on medium speed until butter mixture is creamy. Make sure to stop and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl at least once.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat on medium-high until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Finally, add the oats and coconut and beat just until combined.
- Cover cookie dough bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
- Place a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough (about 2 tablespoons) and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
- Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cookie tops will look slightly undone but they will continue to cook as they cool.
- Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store oat coconut cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Cookies can be frozen in freezer bags or an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw cookies overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a couple of hours.
- Cookie dough balls can also be frozen and then stored in freezer storage bags to bake at a later time. Bake frozen cookie ball without thawing, simply add an extra minute or two to the baking time.
