Chunky Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (aka "Just Eat Them Cookies")

While these cookies are quite similar to these Cowboy Cookies or these Crunchy Cowboy Oatmeal Cookies, they are uniquely buttery and delightfully chewy. I made half a batch of these cookies for our small gathering of teens at our weekly book club, and the entire plate was devoured by the end the of the hour. I'd call that a raging success!

Chunky Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
(aka "Just Eat Them Cookies")

recipe adapted from Tasty Kitchen

Makes about 4 dozen cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 egg yolks

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

1-1/2 cup quick oats

1 cup flaked sweetened coconut

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, shortening, brown sugar, and sugar. (Make sure no large pieces of butter remain.) Add in egg yolks, egg, and vanilla and beat until combined.

Add in flour, salt, and baking soda and mix together. Stir in oats, coconut and chocolate chips, until evenly distributed.

Use a small cookie scoop to equally measure the dough and arrange on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden brown. Let set on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then cool completely on a wire rack.
