What We'll Need

Ingredients

What We'll Do

  1. Step 1

    For this step you'll need:

    First, preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Then, let's prepare the dry ingredients. In a bowl, add your flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together and mix. Set this aside for now.

  2. Step 2

    For this step you'll need:

    Mix together your shortening, both sugars, egg and vanilla extract until creamy. Having a mixer is optional for this recipe as this cookie dough can be mixed by hand with a spatula.

  3. Step 3

    For this step you'll need:

    • Premixed Dry Ingredients From Step 1

    Add your 4 premixed dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt) into the mix 1/2 cup at a time and mix in between. If you add all the dry mix all at once, you will get blasted with flour to the face! :-)

  4. Step 4

    For this step you'll need: Add your unsweetened coconut flakes and continue mixing.

  5. Step 5

    For this step you'll need:

    In a separate bowl, add your rolled oats and cornflakes and mix together.

  6. Step 6

    For this step you'll need:

    • Your Spatula :-)

    Add your oats and cornflake into your cookie dough and lightly mix with your spatula.

  7. Step 7

    For this step you'll need:

    Lay a sheet of parchment on your baking trays. Grab about 2 big tablespoons of your cookie dough and roll them into balls. (About a little bit bigger than a walnut are great sizes.) These cookies don't spread that much. I found that 12 fit comfortably on my 17" baking tray.

  8. Step 8

    For this step you'll need:

    • Your Oven :-)

    Bake for 10 - 12 minutes in your preheated oven 350˚F (175˚C).

  9. The Best Part!

    For this step you'll need: If you have a cooling rack, place your cookies on the cooling rack and let them cool for a few minutes. (Tinfoil on the counter top or a plate will work as well.) After they are done cooling, indulge in this chewy but crunchy cookie. :-) Hope you like it!
