Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Begin by greasing your cookie tins generously to ensure that the cookies do not stick.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a rich and creamy base for your cookies.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, blending well to achieve a smooth dough.
- Add Coconut and Oats: Gently fold in the angel flake coconut and rolled oats, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for that perfect texture.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a heaping teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool and Store: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on wire racks. Once completely cooled, store the cookies in tightly covered tins to keep them fresh and delicious.
