Forgive me for the picture. This is the best I can do with my cell phone.Everything yummy that can go into a cookie is in this one. It's got pecans, chocolate chips, oatmeal, and (my fave) coconut flakes. I like to make these cookies when Alex is around because he can mix in the pecans, chocolate chips, oatmeal and coconut flakes a lot more easily than I could (these are pretty beefy cookies when it comes to the throw-ins).
3 c. all purpose flour (if at high altitude and 1/2 cup more flour)
1 T. baking powder
1 T. baking soda
1 T. ground cinnamon
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. (3 sticks), butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 T. vanilla extract
3 c. chocolate chips
3 c. old fashioned rolled oats
2 c. sweetened coconut flakes
2 c. chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
In an 8-qt. bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 minute. Gradually beat in sugars; beat to combine, 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla extract.
Sir in flour mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
For each cookie, drop 1/4 c. dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through cooking time. Remove cookies to rack to cool.
I saw your side menu for the week! Awesome! How do you make your chicken chimichangas??
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...I got this idea from my friend at work who also has the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. We basically take the fajita recipe (I'll post this one in a bit), roll up the tortillas and deep fry in hot oil to crip up. The best part is the queso (Velveeta and Rotel) that is melted over the stove (not microwaved) and poured on top of the chimichangas.
ReplyDeleteThe fajitas are good themselves. I guess if you make the fajitas one night and have leftovers, you can do the chimichangas another night to mix it up.
Alex loves, loves, loves this dish. His face lights up when he's sees these on the plate, just like when he's sees his stock prices go up.
