Time 35m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or M & Ms)
1/3 cup pecan nuts (peanuts can be substituted)
1/2 cup raisins (or craisins)

Steps:

  • Place rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375 degrees.
  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper (or grease sheets).
  • With mixer, beat together butter, shortening, and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in egg, baking soda mixture, flour, salt and vanilla until just combined.
  • Stir in oats, coconut, chocolate chips, nuts and raisins until well combined.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 4 inches apart onto baking sheets. With a fork flatten and spread each mound into a 3-inch round.
  • Bake cookies, in batches, until golden, approximately10-12 minutes per batch.
  • Transfer to rack to cool.
  • Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free rolled oats and gluten-free flour.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the cookie dough by hand. Just be sure to mix the ingredients well until the dough comes together.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • If you like chewy cookies, bake them for 10-12 minutes. For crispy cookies, bake them for 12-14 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
