Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking sheets by greasing them lightly or lining them with parchment paper.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, sweetened flaked coconut, raisins, and chopped walnuts. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture (from step 2) into the creamed mixture (from step 4). Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. The dough should be thick and well combined.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Form Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are nicely browned around the edges. The centers should still be slightly soft.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve: Once cooled, these Ultimate Killer Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
