How to make toffee coconut oatmeal cookies?

Assembling toffee oatmeal cookies is really easy to do. All you need is a mixing bowl and a few minutes to combine all the ingredients. Here are the quick and easy steps to follow:

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

Stir well and set aside.

In a large bowl, use a whisk to cream the softened butter and brown sugar.

Whip the mixture until smooth, then add the egg. Again, whip the mixture until the egg reaches a ribbon stage and begins to pull away from the side of the bowl.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.

Stir until the flour is just combined. Over mixing at this point will result in dense and tough cookie dough.

Next, fold in the rolled oats, toffee pieces and shredded coconut.

Cut two separate pieces of parchment paper that is 12” wide.

Divide the cookie dough in half, and place half the dough onto each sheet of parchment paper.

Use the paper to roll the cookie dough into logs. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking.

Preheat the over to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the cookie dough into ½” thick slices.

The cookies don’t spread much, so dough can be placed about 2” apart on the baking sheet.

Bake at 375°F for 13 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven.

Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to complete cool down.
