I have had this recipe for over 50 years. I love coconut and love peanuts so this has always been a keeper for me.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • Advertisement

  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. soda
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, preferably unbleached.
  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1 cup salted dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 1/2 cups oatmeal

Directions:

Cream shortening and sugars, add eggs, Gradually add flour. Then fold in the coconut, peanuts, and oatmeal.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes, or till very lightly brown.I have found that a trick to making good cookies is to slightly underbake them, then take them out of the oven and let sit on the pan. That finishes baking them and they are so much more tender.

Note: Sometimes I find I need to add a bit more flour than the recipe calls for. but just a few tablespoons. If you like raisins, you could add them also.

I didn't have enough brown sugar the last time I made these. I only had 1-1/4 cups of brown sugar so I added 1 whole cup of white sugar. It didn't seem to make a difference.

These healthier cookies could be served for breakfast as well as a tasty snack. Mix quick or ground regular oatmeal with mashed bananas and bake. You can add chocolate or peanut butter chips for a 3 ingredient variation.

It is not really that difficult to make oatmeal cookies without sugar. You can substitute artificial sweeteners such as Splenda, or for a more natural alternative try apple sauce.

Our local newspaper runs really good recipes. This issue has cookies that sound so good. The readership is small, and these recipes should be shared.
