Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉—line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together margarine, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, hot water, and vanilla extract.
- Next, add baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add the oatmeal, coconut, and flour and mix well. Slowly fold in the chocolate chips, being careful not to over-mix.
- Place the dough on the baking sheet using a two-inch cookie scoop, leaving 2½ inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies start to turn a slight golden brown color. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet to cool for 5 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t overmix the dough. Once you add the dry ingredients and mix-ins, stir just until combined to keep the cookies soft and tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for even baking. This keeps the cookies uniform in size so they bake at the same rate.
- Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. This helps them firm up without breaking.
- Keep cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days for grab-and-go treats throughout the week.
