Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup flaked coconut

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until the ingredients are well combined.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

  5. Stir the flaked coconut into the flour mixture until evenly distributed.

  6. Add the rolled oats to the flour mixture and stir until combined.

  7. Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined and the dough is moist throughout.

  8. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto greased cookie sheets, spacing them about 1 to 2 inches apart.

  9. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges and tops are golden brown.

  10. Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Every ingredient is stocked at any Charlotte grocery chain, and the cost per serving runs about 30 to 40 cents—butter and sugar are the main drivers, but both are cheap staples. The stated 45 minutes is honest for mixing and baking, though you'll need extra time if chilling the dough first. These cookies store well and reheat gently, making them excellent for a weeknight batch that feeds a family over several days without waste or fussiness.
