Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 3.6 ounces
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour 3.8 ounces
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup light brown sugar 7 ounces
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Adjust oven racks evenly and preheat oven to 350℉. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the dry ingredients (oatmeal, flour, salt, baking powder) together in a medium bowl. Whisk together thoroughly.
  • Combine the melted butter and sugar together in a large bowl and stir together well. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into wet ingredients mixture. Fold gently with a spatula to combine, then add in the chocolate chips and coconut and fold to incorporate.
  • Chill dough for 2 hours.
  • Use a #40 cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) to scoop the cookies and arrange place 2" apart on a baking sheet.
  • Place sheets in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets (and alternating from top to bottom, bottom to top) halfway through baking. The cookies are done when they are beginning to turn golden brown on the edges. You want them to be slightly under-baked as that will give you a nice chewy cookie.
    Optional: Press more chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.

Notes

How to Store: Keep cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to five days. Or, freeze cooled cookies (in freezer-safe packaging) for up to 2 months. Enjoy!
