Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350º
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil.
Toast flaked coconut on a large baking sheet for about 5 minutes or until golden. This burns every quickly so watch carefully.
In a mixing bowl cream butter, sugar, eggs and extracts until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Whisk until blended.
Add dry ingredients (except rolled oats and toasted coconut) to sugar mixture and beat on low just until dough is well blended.
Stir in rolled oats and toasted coconut.
Use a 1/8 cup measuring cup or a measuring spoon to scoop dough and drop on prepared baking sheet. Space cookies at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheet briefly before tranferring to a cooling rack.
Tip: Use a small electric coffee bean grinder to make fresh oat flour. Add 1/2 cup at a time to the coffee bean grinder and briefly pulse until rolled oats are ground.
Makes about 28 large, 3 inch cookies.
Tip:
Can cut sugar to 1 1/2 cups without a big difference in taste.
