- Yields:
-
24 Cookies
- Serves:
- 24
ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1⁄4 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 1⁄2 cups packaged finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate (not unsweetened) or 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch chunks (not unsweetened)
- 3⁄4 cup almonds, with skins toasted, cooled, and chopped (4 oz)
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (I use 350).
- Beat together butter and sugars in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until just blended, then beat in vanilla, baking soda, and salt.
- Add flour and mix at low speed until just blended. Stir in oats, coconut, chocolate, and almonds.
- Arrange 1/4-cup mounds of cookie dough about 3 inches apart on 2 lightly buttered large baking sheets(I use parchment) about 8 cookies per sheet, then gently pat down each mound to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position and rotating pans halfway through baking, until golden, 15 to 18 minutes total.
- Cool cookies on sheets 1 minute, then transfer with a spatula to racks to cool completely. Make more cookies in same manner.
- Notes: You can substitute packaged chocolate chunks instead of cutting up chocolate yourself. Toast nuts in a shallow baking pan in a 350°F oven until golden, 5 to 10 minutes.

I spent my summers at my Grandparents Cafe (just outside of Noxon Montana) and just love the taste and smell of home cookin'!! My grandma was an amazing person (my rock!) and she made wonderful meals. Her pies (Huckleberry cream was my favorite-yum!) were out of this world. I love to try new recipes and have a goal of making a great "keepers" cookbook to pass on to my kids. Granted they are 12,10 and 6 - so I have plenty of time to create a masterpiece :) I stumbled on to this site~ wow! I love it!
