Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup egg (about 1 large egg)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and margarine with both granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Incorporate the Egg and Vanilla:
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
-
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
-
Add the Oats, Coconut, and Cornflakes:
- Stir in the quick-cooking oats and flaked coconut, mixing until evenly distributed.
-
Shape the Dough:
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in flour to prevent sticking.
-
Bake the Cookies:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
-
Cool the Cookies:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling by beating the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar together until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips until well combined.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie to create a sandwich.
-
Store the Cookies:
- Keep the finished cookies in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Servings: Makes approximately 1 batch of cookies.
Enjoy these delicious, chocolaty double crunchers as a delightful dessert that brings a crunch and sweetness to every bite! 🎄🍪🧁
