Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (237ml) vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (208g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (80g) quick-cooking oats
- 3 1/2 cups (434g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (60g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup (25g) lightly crushed cornflakes
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add vegetable oil and mix until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla until fully combined. Stir in salt and baking soda.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add oats and flour, mixing until just combined. Fold in shredded coconut, crushed cornflakes, and chocolate chips carefully to maintain the crunchy texture.
- Chill the Dough: Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill these dough balls in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours to ensure better texture and flavor.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place chilled dough balls about 2 inches apart on the sheet and lightly press each ball down. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown on the bottom.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set perfectly and prevents breaking.
Notes
- Chilling the dough balls helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor development.
- You can substitute half the chocolate chips with nuts if desired for extra crunch.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and ensure chocolate chips are dairy-free.
