It is another Friday which for me means celebrating another National Food Holiday! Last week was a new food to me, Oatmeal Nut Waffle Day. Today is one of my favorite foods, Oatmeal Cookies!
While there are many different kinds of Oatmeal cookies, my favorite are a kind that my mom makes. They stray from the typical oatmeal raisin kind, but that is ok. They still have plenty of oatmeal in them along with coconut, heath bits, and butterscotch morsels! Here is the recipe.
I want more! Oatmeal Cookies
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb (2 sticks) softened butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups Oats (uncooked)
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup butterscotch morsels
1/2 cup Heath (or toffee) bits
1. Preheat your oven on to 350 degrees, In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon).
2. In a large separate bowl, with an electric or stand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until a nice creamy consistency. Add the vanilla and one egg. Mix. Add second egg. Mix. Continue mixing while gradually adding the bowl of dry ingredients.
3. Fold in the coconut, butterscotch morsels, and heath, stirring until everything is incorporated.
4. On a nonstick baking sheet, drop the cookies in sphere shapes. Bake for 12-15 minutes (depending on the size of your cookies)

Thanks Laurence! I hope you have a great National Oatmeal Cookie Day!
Happy National Oatmeal Cookie Day. I added Cranberry Mac Nut Oatmeal Bars to the flickr pool.
sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
YUM, and of course they are healthy for us all thanks to the oatmeal, I love a healthy cookie. LOL! And coconut to any cookie is an added bonus I think..
I think oatmeal cookies are the “healthiest” of cookies! enjoy oatmeal cookie day!
Mmm, butterscotch and toffee is definitely the way to go for oatmeal cookies. The results must have been super good. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog and I’d like to invite you to stop by and link your cookies up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/03/sweets-for-saturday-9.html
These look wonderful, I can’t wait to try them! I just made oatmeal butterscotch cookies last week but they weren’t quite what I was hoping for. A bit too thin, but I think the coconut will help with that.
I made these cookies and within two days they all disappeared … I swear the roommates ate them all! I had to make a new batch last night for my long bus ride tonight. Thanks for sharing!

I have to show appreciation to you just for bailing me out of this scenario. Right after surfing around throughout the world wide web and coming across recommendations that were not productive, I figured my entire life was well over. Being alive minus the approaches to the difficulties you’ve resolved by way of your good site is a critical case, and ones which may have badly damaged my career if I hadn’t come across your blog. Your actual understanding and kindness in taking care of all the stuff was invaluable. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t encountered such a subject like this. I can also at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot very much for your expert and results-oriented guide. I will not hesitate to endorse the website to any individual who needs and wants guidelines on this subject.
