Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups Andes mint baking chips
  • 1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  • Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
  • On low speed, add baking soda and salt, and then flour. Mix completely.
  • Stir in oats, coconut, pecans, and Andes baking chips.
  • Measure out 2 tablespoons for large or 1 tablespoons for small cookies. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet two inches apart. Press lightly with a fork so they are about 1/4 thick (like peanut butter cookies).
  • Sprinkle some of the remaining chips (from the 10 oz. bag) on top of each cookie.
  • Bake for 20 minutes for large cookies or 12-15 minutes for small. Do not overbake.
