Grandmother's Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
Description
Take a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and add crispy rice cereal and flaked coconut — it might be the best oatmeal cookie you've ever eaten!
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
•
1 cup white sugar
•
3/4 cup butter, softened
•
2 eggs
•
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon baking soda
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•
1 cup oats
•
1 cup crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
•
1 cup flaked coconut
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Beat brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg one at a time, allowing the first egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next egg with vanilla.
3
Stir flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Beat into butter mixture until just incorporated into a dough. Fold oats, crispy rice cereal, and coconut into dough; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
4
Drop cookie dough by teaspoonful onto baking sheets.
5
Bake in preheated oven until browned, 8 to 9 minutes. Cool cookies slightly on baking sheets before moving to cooling racks to cool completely.
