Hello World! Happy Wednesday. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m so ready for cooler weather. When I get like this, I tend to start baking even though just walking outside for five minutes can have me dripping in sweat. Nice visual, huh?
Anyhoo, the other night, I made a batch of Toasted Coconut and Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. I got the recipe from Lady Behind the Curtain.
Toasted Coconut and Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup packed brown sugar
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup toasted shredded coconut (see below)
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups rolled oats
Toasted Coconut:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the measurement of coconut you need on a cookie sheet, bake stirring often until the coconut reaches a golden color.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and coconut.
Beat butter for 30 seconds until creamy. Add the eggs, extracts, and sugar.
Mix well. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix well.
Fold in the chips and oats.
Place tablespoon sized scoops on baking sheet. Press down each scoop just a bit.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes 2 dozen.
Nothing like pictures of raw cookie dough.
Give the recipe a go…maybe when the weather gets a little cooler. Wishing all a grand rest of the week and remember to be kind to one another.

Y~U~M~M~Y! These look so good. I love coconut anyway and if it is paired with chocolate and oatmeal it's a done deal for me. 🙂 Oatmeal is one of my favorite recipes.
Wow these look yum.
I am hosting WTML All through August’12. Do send me your entries
These look so good! I'll have to save this recipe and try them when the weather cools off. It's going to hit 106 here by Saturday, so I might have to stick to store bought cookies awhile.
Kathryn, these cookies look delicious… something to bake at the weekend. The weather is colder here in England, so they will be perfect with a cup of coffee. Thank you for sharing. Best Wishes Daphne
These sound wonderful! I love any chocolate and coconut combination!!! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness these look so delicious! I love cookies with coconut in them, but my husband doesn't I guess I will just have to make them and eat them all myself.
