Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the oats and coconut.
  3. Fold the dry mixture into the butter mixture just until combined, with no flour streaks.
  4. Drop 1 ½ tablespoon mounds of dough onto the sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating halfway, until edges are golden. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For crispier edges, bake 1 to 2 minutes longer, keeping a close eye so the coconut does not burn. If the dough feels sticky when scooping, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes first.
