Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup eggs (approximately 4 eggs)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or using a dark, non-stick cookie sheet for less chewy cookies.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and well combined.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract. Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated. The resulting dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
-
Stir in Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the oatmeal, shredded coconut, raisins, and chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. This will give your cookies a delightful mix of textures and flavors.
-
Form Cookies: Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 1 minute before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. This will help them set and firm up.
-
Storage: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking, but they can also be frozen for longer storage.
