i enjoy baking so much because it reminds me
of my mom..everything she created was news
article, magazine cover & cookbook worthy....
the 1st recipe she ever taught me was a plain
cookie base..which was essentially a chocolate
chip cookie recipe..minus the chocolate chips..
she told me that with this recipe i could add just
about anything..i called them Junk Cookies....
pretty much whatever was left in the cabinets
for a quick fix to calm the cookie cravings..i
have kinda revised the recipe..but it still works
and can be modified to fit your taste buds
INGREDIENTS:
• ½ c. softened butter
• ½ c. butter flavored shortening
• ¾ c. brown sugar
• ½ c. honey
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1½ all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt
• 3½ c. old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ c. finely ground toasted coconut
• ½ c. chopped almonds
• 1 c. raisins (soaking in water for plumpness)
• 1 c. chocolate chunks
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350℉
1. in a large bowl, cream together the butter,
sugar & honey (SIDE NOTE: lightly coating the
measuring cup with cooking spray releases the
honey without it sticking) then add the eggs &
vanilla
2. sift the flour, salt & baking soda into the
bowl and mix with the butter/sugar mixture
3. fold in the old-fashioned oats
4. drain the raisins, removing as much excess
water as possible and lightly pat dry then add
with the coconut, almonds & chocolate chunks
5. place tablespoon sized scoops of the cookie
dough onto an ungreased or parchment paper
lined cookie sheet 2 inches apart and bake at
350℉ for 8 minutes (9½ minutes for ¼ cup
of dough for jumbo cookies)
6. after baking, carefully transfer cookies to
a cooling rack (as they will be soft..but will
become slightly crunchy on the outside and
chewy gooey on the inside once they cool)
