COCONUT OATMEAL COOKIES WITH COCONUT OIL - BAKING RECIPES





           Coconut oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy and rich in taste. They taste like a regular soft and buttery cookie but the inclusion of coconut, in the form of coconut oil and coconut flakes ( although you can’t taste it but it gives these cookies a deep caramel richness and chewy bite. My husband really loved it...Very easy to make in a very less time..


   Ingredients

          3 Tbsp of All Purpose Flour / Maida
          2/3 Cups of Quick Cooking Oats
          3 Tbsp of  Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
          1/4 Cup + 1 Tbsp of Sweetened Coconut Flakes
          3 Tbsp of  White Granulated Sugar
          1/4 Tsp of Salt
          1 and 1/2 Tbsp of Milk (Full Fat )


   Method


  • Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  • In a bowl, mix sugar and oil together with a fork or wire whisk.


  • Then add flour, oats, coconut flakes, salt and milk to sugar- oil mixture. Mix well with spatula or fork.



  • Drop by rounded tablespoonful onto greased baking sheets, 2 inches apart and flatten it slightly with a fork.
  • Bake it for 15 - 20 mins or until bottoms turn golden brown. Mine turned golden brown after 15 mins.
  • Let the cookies cool down for 10 mins. Then carefully lift the cookies with a spatula and transfer to a cool, flat surface and enjoy....

    Yield : 10 Cookies




   Tips

  • Store it in airtight container after they cooled down.
