These might just be my favorite cookies. Another fantastic recipe from Mrs. Weiner– not exactly sure what cookbook these come from- but in it, they are called Zoe’s macaroons. These have a bit of coconut in them– but trust me- i don’t like coconut- and these don’t taste like it- it just helps w. the chewy texture.
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup butter (2 sticks), melted
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
4 cups rolled oats
Semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 3/4 of a bag)
Preheat oven to 375. Butter baking sheets (don’t think this is necessary- can also line w. parchment paper). In a large bowl, blend both sugars and melted butter and eggs. Stir in coconut and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the soda, salt and flour. Combine both mixtures. Add rolled oats, 1 cup at a time, and mix until batter is very stiff. Drop cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned. 12-14 mins. I’d err on the side of under baking so chewy.
Makes a lot of cookies.
i miss these cookies! 🙂
but what i really wanted to add here was that i concur on the coconut factor, i also really dislike coconut but you don’t even notice it in these cookies…
