Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to a moderate speed (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter (or margarine) until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs to the mixture, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well after each addition.
- In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and orange peel (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the oatmeal, coconut, and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2 inches. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out the cookies, or simply drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling surface, such as paper towels or wire racks, to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Germantown Cookies with your family and friends! 🎉
