Ingredients
Flour
1 1/2 cups (all-purpose flour)
Salt
1 teaspoon (fine salt)
Baking Soda
1 teaspoon (baking soda)
Oil
1 cup (vegetable or coconut oil)
Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup (white sugar)
Brown Sugar
1 cup (packed brown sugar)
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon (pure vanilla)
Eggs
2 (large eggs)
Rolled Oats
2 cups (quick cooking oats)
Chocolate Chips
12 ounces (semi-sweet chocolate chips)
Coconut
1/2-3/4 cup (shredded (unsweetened or sweetened, depending on preference))
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by leaving it ungreased.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy and well combined.
3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, blend in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda until well mixed. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5
Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and coconut using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6
Using a small cookie scoop, drop rounded amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this will help keep them chewy.
8
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
