OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL COCONUT COOKIES



Old Fashioned Oatmeal Coconut Cookies image

These are my absolute favourite cookies. The only thing I don't like about them is how fast they disappear! I have listed the original recipe but I usually change it up a bit. I like to use whole-wheat flour, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown. I like to add ground flaxseed, nuts and/or sunflower seeds. And I always use craisins (dried, sweetened cranberries) instead of raisins or chocolate. Mmmm... delicious and nutritious.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. Quick oats or instant oats will not produce the same chewy texture.
  • Toast the oats before baking. This will bring out their flavor and make them more香脆.
  • Use softened butter. This will help the cookies spread evenly and prevent them from being too dry.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

These old-fashioned oatmeal coconut cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a special holiday party. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and hint of coconut, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
