COCONUT OATMEAL COOKIES



Coconut Oatmeal Cookies image

My grand-daughter sent me this recipe she says they are delicious. These cookies work very well using Splenda or Splenda for Baking,in place of the white sugar. (note, I have been trying different ways to cut down on sugar, using 2 tablespoons molasses in stead of the brown sugar works good and using the splenda for baking, I have also used all butter instead of shortening & butter with good results)

OATMEAL DATE COOKIES



Oatmeal Date Cookies image

Dates contribute a satisfying chew and rich butterscotch flavor to these oatmeal cookies. You'd be hard pressed to find a better oatmeal cookie recipe.

Provided by Roxana Jullapat

Categories     Dessert     snack     Cookies     Bake     Oat     Date     Cinnamon     Butter     Egg     Mixer     Vegetarian     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kid-Friendly

Yield Makes 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick/​115 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
½ cup packed (105 g) dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
¾ cup (100 g) Sonora wheat flour, or any other heirloom wheat flour
¾ cup (80 g) old-​fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (145 g) chopped pitted Medjool dates (about 16 )

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars at medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix until well combined, 1 minute. Add the egg and mix for another minute. Add the flour and oats and mix on low speed until combined. Finally, add the dates in two additions to make sure they're distributed evenly throughout. The dough will be very soft at this point.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Flatten into a disk with your hands, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 2 days)-​chilled dough will be much easier to handle.
  • Place two racks in the middle positions and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal portions, about 1½ ounces (45 g) each. Working quickly so that the dough doesn't warm up, shape each portion into a ball with your hands. You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 2 weeks in a freezer bag to be baked from frozen at a later time. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart to prevent the cookies from touching as they spread when they bake. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheets and switch their positions in the oven, and bake for another 6 to 8 minutes, until the edges are brown and the middle is golden. Rotating and switching the sheets halfway through the baking process will ensure that the cookies bake evenly. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. The cookies keep well for a couple of days stored in an airtight container.

Tips for Making Oatmeal Date Coconut Drop Cookies:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a chewier cookie.
  • Toast the oats in the oven before using them to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a food processor to chop the dates and coconut finely.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually until just combined.
  • Fold in the oats, dates, and coconut.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350°F) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal date coconut drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and have a chewy texture that is sure to please everyone. These cookies are also a good source of fiber and other nutrients, making them a healthier choice than many other cookies.
