Jumbo Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies

Everyday Food Magazine, April 2005

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
2 cups raisins
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

 Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Add oats, raisins, coconut; beat just until combined.

Drop level 1/4 cup measures of dough, 1 1/2 inches apart, onto baking sheets.

Bake until cookies have spread and are golden brown and soft to the touch, 18-20 minutes (I bake mine 13-15 minutes only on cookie trays lined with parchment paper), rotating sheets halfway through. Cool 5 minutes on sheets; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 20.

Freeze and bake: Freeze unbaked cookies on baking sheet until firm about 30 minutes. Transfer to resealable plastic bags (label and date); keep up up to 6 months. Bake as many as you need (without thawing); place 1 1/2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes.
