I didn’t let Valentine’s Day pass without making some of these. The best cookies ever. I made the instructions easier!
NUT FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP GRAND FINALE COOKIES
1 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups quick cooking oats
12 ounce package chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup orange juice
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Add the oats, chips, coconut and raisins to the flour mixture and mix to distribute the ingredients evenly. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar at medium speed for about 2 minutes or until smooth, creamy and well blended. Add the egg, orange juice and vanilla extract and beat for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and well blended. Add the flour mixture and blend it in thoroughly. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and place on the cookie sheets, leaving some place between the blobs for the cookies to spread. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Let cool.
Makes 36-42 cookies
