Ingredients
  

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup coconut oil measured solid, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup quick oats

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking Sheets
  • Whisk
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar together.
  4. To the sugars, add the melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the shredded coconut and quick oats.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  8. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a nuttier flavor, substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Use vegetable oil or melted butter if coconut oil isn't available.
  • Freeze cookie dough balls for up to three months for easy baking later.
  • Don't overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
