Coconut Oil Cowboy Cookies Recipe
Description
This cookie recipe begins by mixing dry ingredients including oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Separately, sugars are whisked with an egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract before being combined with the dry mix to form a thick batter. Chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and shredded coconut are folded into the dough, intensifying flavor and texture contrasts.
Dough portions are dropped onto a baking sheet spaced apart, then lightly pressed if crumbly. Baking at 350°F for 8 to 9 minutes protects the cookies from overbaking, resulting in a soft center that crisps upon cooling. The cookies are allowed to cool on the baking sheet before moving to a wire rack, ensuring proper set and durability.
The combination of oats and coconut oil creates a satisfying chew, while chocolate chips add sweetness and cranberries bring tartness. The shredded coconut enhances texture and taste with tropical hints. These cookies make a flavorful accompaniment to coffee or a satisfying snack on their own.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup coconut loosely packed, sweetened shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg. Whisk until smooth. Add the melted (but not hot) coconut oil and vanilla. Whisk until well combined (about 1 minute).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until all dry ingredients are moistened.
- Add the chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and shredded coconut. Stir until they are well incorporated in the cookie batter. This is a thick batter so this will take some effort.
- Drop large rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches around each cookie. Use your fingers to press the cookies together if they are crumbly. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Do not over bake. Cookies will look soft but will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
