These easy oatmeal cookies have a crispy exterior, soft, chewy center, and the best buttery, brown sugar flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups large rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar (make sure your butter is soft!). Mix in eggs and vanilla.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, combine toasted oats, shredded coconut, flour, baking soda and salt.

  3. 3

    Add oat mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form dough into 2 teaspoon-sized balls and flatten them using your fingers or a fork. They don't spread out much, so be sure to flatten them.

  5. 5

    Place on a cookie sheet, and bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Remove and let cookies cool on the sheet for a good 10 minutes — they will crisp up as they cool.
