Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 2 baking trays with silicone sheets or parchment paper.
  • In mixing bowl with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars for about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add egg, extract, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add in flour, coconut, and oats. Lastly stir in walnuts.
  • You can choose to refrigerate the cookie dough for 10-15 minutes to allow it to firm up and create a thicker cookie.
  • When ready, scoop 1 inch cookie dough balls onto tray about 1 inch apart. Bake 10-12 minutes, just until the edges begin to brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • If desired, sprinkle with coarse salt. Enjoy with a glass of milk or coffee!
