my fave cookie from childhood
I find that I really really miss a lot of the recipes that my mom made for us when I was a child. One of my favorites was a coconut oatmeal cookie from a Quaker Oatmeal recipe book circa 1970's. Food from that error rarely turns me on but I miss these cookies so much and so I made them the other day, substituting flour with gf stuff. I know that you can find uncontaminated oatmeal these days, but oats came up on my no-fly list so I used pecan meal instead and it tastes the same. I joke not that I ate the ENTIRE BATCH by myself. Ok, so my friend Thomas had like 4-5 but I seriously ate the other 30 cookies. The raw cookie dough tastes a little "beany" as most gf flour has some beans involved but the baked product was so good my friend couldn't tell they were gf.
Oatmeal Coconut Crispies
1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Blend butter and shortening and then add eggs and vanilla.
1 1/2 cups gluten free baking mix (like a gluten free bisquick)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda (this might not be necessary if the gf baking mix has leavening)
1 tsp cinnamon (but I use like a tablespoon)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Sift together dry ingredients and then add a little at a time to wet mixture until all incorporated.
Stir in:
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecan pieces
1 1/2 cup coconut flakes
1 1/2 cup gf oatmeal. (I used 1 cup pecan meal instead).
Combine thoroughly. Drop by spoonfulls on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 mins or until brown but not overly done. Remove while still "underdone" a wee bit and let cool on cooling rack. They will be chewey and amazing. And you'll eat the entire batch yourself.
