Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Grandma's Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy, moist and so tasty!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Cream butter and sugars until smooth.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in milk & vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt.
- Stir flour mixture into wet mixture until blended.
- Stir in oats, coconut, and chocolate chips. Mixture will be very thick.
- Refrigerate 1 hour (optional). Can be refrigerated overnight or shaped into logs and frozen.
- Using a tablespoon or teaspoon (depending on desired cookie size), drop dough on to cookie sheet.
- Bake 8-10 minutes. Cookies will stay more moist if you remove them from the oven while still a tad underdone looking. They will continue to harden up as they cool.
Notes
This recipe makes a large batch. If you'd like to freeze the dough, shape into logs and wrap in cling wrap before freezing. Cut into slices and add additional cooking time if baking from frozen.
Refrigerating the dough is not necessary, but it does help the oats to soften and all the ingredients meld together a bit more.
Substitute raisins for chocolate chips if you prefer Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
