  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the brown sugar, butter, shortening, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until almost combined.
  5. Add the oats and mix to combine.
  6. Pour in the toffee bits, followed by the coconut. Mix until it all comes together.
  7. Make balls about 2 tablespoons each and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are just browned.
  9. Cool for 1 minute, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes

  • slightly adapted from Hershey's
  • SUBSTITUTIONS: You can use all butter instead of half shortening, but your cookies will probably spread more. You could also use unsweetened coconut to cut back on the sweetness a bit. Old fashioned oats can be used instead of quick oats, but they will change the texture of the cookies.
  • FREEZE: These cookies freeze well! To freeze, make the dough and roll into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Once the dough is frozen, you can take them and put them in a freezer safe container or a ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • STORE: Store the cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
