COCONUT OATMEAL MINI BITES



Coconut Oatmeal Mini Bites image

These little gems are made in a mini-muffin pan. We like to add chocolate chips to the mix on occasion -we sometimes swap those out for butterscotch chips too. :) Even plain, the combination of the sweet nuttines of the coconut with crunchy nuttiness of the oatmeal is swell. This recipe makes a large batch, so feel free to halve...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 c oatmeal (rolled or quick cooking not instant)
1 c shredded coconut
1/2 c finely chopped chocolate or butterscotch chips (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. While preheating the oven to 350F, lightly grease a couple of mini muffin pans.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • 3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually blend the flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in the coconut, oatmeal and chocolate/butterscotch bits.
  • 4. Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full with dough - just under a 1-inch ball. The dough will spread during baking.
  • 5. Bake at 350F for 10-13 minutes, until cookies are just golden brown at the edges. Cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing cookie bites and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The tops may sink slightly as the cookies cool.
