I'm sorry I didn't take the time to post at all last month, I was going through some pretty personal issues and such... (that, and half the month it was too hot to bake. Haha). Anyways, the important thing is that I'm back, and ready to bake!
A few nights ago, I went over to some friends' house for a break fast (it's Ramadan time again!), and I decided to make them some cookies. After a flipping through a few recipe books, I settled on these. Word is, they were pretty good. ;)
Ingredients: (adapted from The Great Canadian Cookie Cookbook, which can be purchased here or here.)
- 1 cup butter, softened;
- 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed);
- 2 eggs;
- 1/2 tsp almond extract;
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour;
- 1 tsp baking baking soda;
- 3 cups ground oats;
- 4 ounces (about 1 1/3 cups) shredded coconut.
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Beat butter and brown sugar in a large bowl, until creamy.
3. Add eggs and almond extract; beat well.
4. Combine flour and baking soda, add to mixture, and beat well.
5. Add oats and coconut; mix well.
6. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls (*I find that this recipe works well with a little more batter, too!)
7. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until light and golden brown.
8. Cool two minutes on cookie sheets, then remove to wire racks. Cool completely.
9. Store in a tightly covered container.

This recipe makes: about 8 dozen cookies (*although the book says that it makes 4 dozen.. oops).
Anyways, that's all for today, folks! I hope you enjoyed Big Time Baking's latest recipe. Bite-sized oatmeal and coconut delights... Yum!
