Super Crunchy Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
A really easy cookie recipe for cookies with a perfect crunch
Do you love a crunchy cookie? That crunch when you take the first bite. I love both crunchy cookies and soft cookies, but when it comes to oat cookies it has to be crunchy, that´s just the way I am used to them from my childhood. In Finland, oat cookies are mostly made thin and crispy and so I also love them this way.
​
When I started my YouTube channel, my first recipe was a cookie recipe, quick and easy oat cookies with pecan nuts. When I created that recipe, I also had an idea for coconut cookies. I tested the recipe and somehow forgot to post it. After a long time I realized I hadn´t posted the recipe yet and it had to be done! I had to share this super easy, yummy recipe with you.
​
If you love the crunch and you love coconut, then start get your cookie on and bake some of these crunchy goodies!

Happy Baking Lovelies!

RECIPE
Crunchy Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
A really easy cookie recipe for cookies with a perfect crunch
​INGREDIENTS
​
-
50g oats
-
100g shredded coconut
-
2 tbsp flour (about 30g)
-
80g sugar
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
100g butter
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 egg
​
​
DIRECTIONS
​
-
Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
-
Melt the butter and allow it to cool shortly.
-
Add the cooled butter to the dry ingredients and mix shortly.
-
Then add the vanilla extract and mix again shortly.
-
Add the egg and mix well until combined. You want to have a paste like batter at the end (see video).
-
Cover a baking tray with parchment paper and take a teaspoonful of the batter. Press the cookie dough with your fingers into the parchment paper to form a thin cookie (see video).
-
Leave the cookies a bit apart when forming them (maximum 12 cookies per baking tray).
-
Bake the cookies in 200°C in the middle shelf of the oven for about 5-8 minutes until the edges start to lightly get golden.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before removing the cookies to a cooling rack. The cookies harden when they cool. Removing the from the tray directly after baking might result in breaking the cookies.
-
Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them crunchy for longer.
