Crispy Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Created by MamiJ on October 27, 2011

Step 1: Toast the coconut: Place coconut in a large, dry skillet. Heat over medium heat and cook, turning often until coconut is fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: In a bowl mix flour, salt, baking soda and powder, and oats. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large bowl, with electric mixer, mix butter and sugars. Blend well.
Step 4: Add eggs, one by one and mix well. Add vanilla extract.
Step 5: On low speed, add flour mixture, slowly to avoid spills. If it becomes hard to incorporate, fold mixture in with a rubber spatula until dough forms. Add the toasted coconut and mix well.
Step 6: Place rounded tablespoons of dough 1 1/2 inches apart in cookie sheets. Cookies will spread. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are dry and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes before removing.
