My MIL and her daughter began this baking endeavor with Cowboy cookies. This is my sequel, and I'm stickin' to it.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/2 package ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour
1 package ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups oatmeal
1 (14 ounce) bag coconut
Directions:
1. GHIRADELLI OR OTHER FINE CHOCOLATE ONLY, NO SUBSTITUTIONS!
2. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
3. Melt butter and 1/2 bag of chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently.
4. Combine both sugars in large bowl, and add butter-chocolate mixture, stirring well.
5. Add vanilla and eggs.
6. Add baking powder, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour, blending thoroughly.
7. Add chocolate chips, oatmeal, and coconut, mixing well.
8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheet (these do better as a bigger cookie).
9. Bake 12-15 minutes, until cookies just begin to turn brown- don't overbake!
