Calories: 123kcal
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups oats quick cooking or old fashioned
- 1 cup dates chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or leave the baking sheet ungreased).
- Cream the butter and sugars with a hand mixer or in the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix just until combined.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the oatmeal, dates, walnuts, and coconut. Add to dough butter/sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the dough, use your hands to roll the dough into a neat ball, and place it the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough to fill the cookie sheet, leaving a couple of inches between each ball of dough.
- Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
