Hello there:)
The cookie tin has been empty for a day or so, and my husband and son love to come home to find goodies in it. So, today seemed a good day to bake. I baked oatmeal coconut scotchies. They are moist in the center with the slightest crunch around the edges. If you have a hankerin', please give them a try. The recipe is a basic one that I had, but have tweaked over time. One reason I go back to this recipe is that I get a lot of cookies for the cost and it's easy to make.
Oatmeal Coconut Scotchies
Heat oven to 350 degrees
2 eggs
2 tablespoons Molasses
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup softened butter (I usually forget to leave the butter out to soften, so I zap it in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds, even if some of it is melted it won't matter)
2 cups of sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
In a small bowl mix together eggs, molasses and vanilla extract. In large bowl, put in all the rest of the ingredients. Now add the egg/molasses/vanilla mixture to the large bowl. Mix well.
Drop by teaspoonfuls on un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 min.
I like to cool them on a rack as I find that helps them stay moist in the center.
The house smells so good right now!
All the best,
Jeannette
P.S. I tried to post this yesterday, but Blogger wouldn't accept my pictures:)

ReplyDeleteThose cookies sound very nice. I wonder if I can use Black treacle instead of molasses, that isnt something we find here.
Hi Elizabeth:) I looked up black treacle and near as I can tell it is the same thing as molasses, but a bit lighter. I use molasses in the recipe to warm up the flavor of the white sugar. It seems that black treacle should do the trick as well. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the recipe:)
DeleteSounds good. I do like cookies and am always looking for a good recipe.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves these cookies...but I've never added coconut. I'll give it a try.
