Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts
  • 1 1/3 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup flaked coconut

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and espresso powder. Combine the flour and baking soda; blend into the sugar mixture until just moist. Stir in the oats, peanuts, chocolate chips and coconut until evenly mixed. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
