Also Kim’s Favorite Oatmeal Cookies!

Sometimes you have a craving for a small bite of sweetness.

Sometimes You

JUST NEED A COOKIE!

Or several.

And since you are always on a diet, there are no cookies in the house.

Desperate times call for desperate measures…

It is Time to Bake!

These Oatmeal Cookies are soft and chewy but also crispy on the outside.

They’re also very hard to resist!

To make these cookies you will need:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 2 tsp. vanilla, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. baking soda, 2 cups flour, 2 cups oatmeal, 1/2 cup coconut, and 1/2 cup pecans (pronounced pee-CANs) which are optional.

This is what to do:

Cream together butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla.  Brown sugar contains more moisture than white sugar. If you’re like me and you enjoy tweaking recipes, remember… it is important to include brown sugar as it lends itself to softer, chewier cookies.

Whisk all dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.  Whisking will aerate the flour and thoroughly mix the salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well.

Measure cookies using a tablespoon and roll into balls.

Then lightly press onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350°

for 8 minutes.

My recipe makes about 6 dozen.

Pictured is slightly less than 6 dozen because I’ve already enjoyed taste testing.
