Snowbaking ~ Chcolate chip, coconut, oatmeal cookies....



Yes, it's a new word, at least for me.  We were snowed in today, so I decided to bake... so yep, it's snowbaking!

These cookies are chunky, chewy with chocolate chips, oatmeal and coconut in them.  And I made them for gifts for Christmas, for a few friends.  They are pretty low in sugar and fairly healthy too (no butter at all).

Here's the recipe:  (Adapted from Ambitious Kitchen)

  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2-½ cups Quick Oats
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ cups Walnut Oil
  • 1-½ cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2  Egg
  • 4 teaspoon coconut milk
  • 3 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 2 cups shredded Coconut
  • 6 ounces, Semi-sweet Chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In large bowl whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In bowl of an electric mixer, beat together oil and brown sugar until smooth. Add in egg, milk and vanilla and coconut extract. Beat again for 2 minutes or until smooth.
Add in flour and oat mixture to the wet ingredients; mixing until well combined. Slowly add in coconut and chocolate chunks.
Drop dough with cookie scoop or by large rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-13 minutes or until edges just being to turn a golden brown.  Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes on baking sheet. Transfer to wire rack to finish cooling
.
Makes 4 dozen cookies.


  
YUM!
