Buttery Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, coconut, salt, and baking soda.
2. Mix on medium-low speed for about 1 minute until evenly distributed.

3️⃣ Prepare Wet Ingredients

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and corn syrup together.
2. Let it gently boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
3. With the mixer running on low, drizzle the warm butter-corn syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to combine.

4️⃣ Add Egg & Finish Dough

• Crack in the egg and beat until a soft dough forms. The dough will be thick but pliable.

5️⃣ Scoop & Bake

1. Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
2. Lightly flatten the tops with your hand or the bottom of a glass.
3. Bake for 10–11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
