Compost Cookies

By stancec44

Whether you call them monster cookies, kitchen sink cookies, everything cookies, or compost cookies… these cookies are a salty sweet dynamo! Just try to resist them. Then I take all the baking chip bags with one handful of chocolate or cinnamon chips, all the salty snacks with just a few crumbs in the bottom of the bag (like pretzels, potato chips, nut mixes, or even chex mix) and dump them into a coffee coconut cookie dough.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Gold Medal All Purpose Flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 Tb. coffee grounds
• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup baking chips (any variety/mixed) or M&Ms

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix the first four dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Then cream the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer.

Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture. Then scrape the bowl and slowly mix in the flour mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Drop the cookie dough into 1 1/2 Tb. mounds on the lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before moving.
