Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 150g rolled oats
- 100g shredded coconut
- 100g raisins
- 100g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 100g butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 150g of rolled oats, 100g of shredded coconut, 100g of raisins, and 100g of brown sugar. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, melt 100g of butter in the microwave or on the stovetop until fully liquid. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the dry mixture.
- Crack 1 egg into the bowl with the melted butter. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir well to combine all the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but cohesive.
- Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the dough and fold it in until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Once all the dough is on the baking sheet, gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork or your fingers, as they will not spread much during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your Great Grains Raisin and Coconut Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make cookies tough instead of tender.
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rise and texture.
- Use parchment paper for even baking and easy cookie removal.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
- For extra richness, consider toasting the coconut and oats before adding to the mixture.
- Experiment with adding chopped nuts for additional crunch and flavor complexity.
