Buttery and rich, this old-fashioned oatmeal cookie is fantastic. They're crunchy and crisp around the edges and chewy in the middle. Coconut adds tons of flavor and texture. It's what makes this different from other oatmeal cookies. We opted to add a 12oz bag of chocolate chips along with the coconut and loved these. If you love...

My Aunt Helen is the aunt that my brother has dubbed "Queen of all baked goods" and this is one of her recipes. My husband requests these every couple of weeks! You can ice them or not, either way they are wonderful. Hope you will enjoy them as much as our family does.

1 c sugar
1 c shortening or butter at room temp.
12 oz jar molasses
3 eggs
5 c flour (may need more)
2 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger

Steps:

  • 1. Cream the sugar and butter together. Add the molasses and drop the eggs in one at a time beating well after each one.
  • 2. Add the vinegar and beat until foamy and light.
  • 3. Add in sifted dry ingredients. Mixture should be stiff enough to handle. Roll 1/4 inch thick on a well floured board and cut into large cookies (I use a cookie dropper I found at Pampered Chef) You can also use cookie cutters.
  • 4. If you like, you can sprinkle them with sugar (or can just leave them as is) and bake on a greased cookie sheet 12 _15 minutes in a preheated oven (375 degrees)
