Gourmet Cookie Bouquets Recipe Blog

These cookies cook quickly and burn easily, so keep an eye on them. Baking cookies on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat placed on a baking sheet can reduce the cookies’ tendency to spread, burn, and stick to the baking sheet.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter: melted and cooled
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cup oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1 large egg

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet lightly with butter, or place parchment paper or a baking mat on an ungreased cookie sheet.
2. Pour the melted butter into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, oats, flour, baking powder, nuts, coconut extract, and egg, and mix by hand until blended.
3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart, as the cookies spread while baking. Bake 5-8 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown around edges.
4. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
