COCONUT OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE

The very first sweet recipe that I tried when I learned what are chocolate chips or nibs was a combination of oatmeal and coconut. They were delicious but if you did not know that nibs were in them you might think they were just nuts. The coconut and oatmeal seemed to overpower the flavor of the nibs. Try the following recipe.

1 Cup soft butter ВЅ Cup sugar ВЅ Cup brown sugar, firmly packed 1 Beaten egg 1 Teaspoon vanilla 1 ВЅ Cups flour 1 Teaspoon cinnamon 1 Teaspoon soda 1 Cup coconut 1 ВЅ Cups old fashion oats ВЅ Cup chopped cocoa nibs

Cream together the butter and sugars, adding the egg and vanilla while beating. Add the flour cinnamon, soda, coconut, oats and nibs. Mix thoroughly until well blended. Chill for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray cookie sheet with oil.

Roll cookie dough into balls and place on cookie sheet. With a fork, dip in sugar and flatten cookies. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are set.
