Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 0.75 cup dried cherries
- 0.5 cup crushed potato chips
- 0.5 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, dark chocolate chunks, dried cherries, crushed potato chips, and toasted coconut flakes until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your experimental oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
