Oatmeal Coconut Cookies Recipe

• 1 cup butter (unsalted, room temperature)
• 1 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups oats
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare a silicone baking mat.

2. 2

   In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the egg and the vanilla extract and beat to combine.

4. 4

   In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, coconut flakes, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

5. 5

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until the flour mixture is completely incorporated.

6. 6

   Use a medium cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon to portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, keeping the cookies spaced at least a ½ inch apart.

7. 7

   Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and puffed in the centers, about 10–12 minutes.

8. 8

   Let the baked cookies cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
