Tips:

  • Choose the Right Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture and flavor. Quick oats may make the cookies too dry and dense.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors to develop and makes the dough easier to handle.
  • Space the Cookies Properly: Place the cookie dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. This will allow them to spread without touching each other.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the Cookies Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them to keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Aunt Myrtle's Coconut Oat Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
