It became a tradition with my sister that whenever we'd go shopping together, we would have to make a pit stop to satisfy our ever-craving sweet tooth's with a cookie. Be it the sugar cookie from Vie de France at South Coast, or the everything cookie from Pain Du Monde at Fashion Island, somehow, we had to satisfy those cravings with one of these decadently scrumptious cookies, {and black coffee, of course}. Now that OC is no longer home and I am tucked away two hours north, {and without my shopping buddy}, my cookie craving still exists but without Pain du Monde or Vie de France, I'm stuck to fend for myself. So, I decided to bake it. To be exact these are double chocolate chip, oatmeal, coconut, walnut cookies with a gooey center and a perfect antidote to any bad day.
What you'll need:- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup shredded coconuts
- 1 1/2 cup sugar-free or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 335 degrees
- In a mixer bowl, whip together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, add in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda and salt and slowly stir into wet mixture until blended.
- Mix in quick oats, walnuts, coconut and chocolate chips.
- with heaping tablespoons, or an ice cream scooper, place on baking sheet.
- Reason they're so good: FREEZE for 15 minutes before baking!
- Bake for 12 minutes. Center will be perfectly moist and delish!
