Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 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 Salt
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and raisins (if using) with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
