List of Ingredients




Recipe from boyfriend’s Mom’s friend (how’s that for connections, eh?)

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt (sounds like a lot but it balances the sugar really, really well)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup nuts, chopped and toasted (I prefer almonds, but of course walnuts and pecans are up for grabs)


Recipe




Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk (or sift) together the flour, baking soda and powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well, making sure to scrape down sides of bowl afterwards. With the mixer running, gradually add flour mixture until combined. Stir in rolled oats, coconut and nuts.

Shape into walnut sized balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, making sure to leave a few inches in between them. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, until browned along the edges and top. Makes about 2 and a half dozen cookies.
