I’ve been meaning to make the famous Lion House rolls from my Lion House Bakery cookbook, but I keep getting waylaid by quick and tasty sweet treats. This chocolate chip cookie with coconut in it may be my neighborhood Christmas gift this year. Here’s what’s great about it: You know how sometimes you want cookies immediately so you forget/overlook softening the butter and then your cookies fry out and it’s a huge waste of time? This recipe simply has you cut in the butter. Genius. Brigham Young didn’t marry all those Lion House cooks for nothin. Kidding! Not really kidding.
Hu La La Surprise Cookies
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 t baking powder
3/4 t baking soda
3/4 t salt
1 cup butter
2 cups coconut
2 cups rolled oats (healthy!)
3 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 cups milk chocolate chips (semi-sweet is also good)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter and mix until well blended. Ad coconut and oatmeal and mix briefly. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake 10-12 minutes. Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
They will turn out. I promise. And they are basically just chocolate chip cookies but really chewy and incredibly healthy. Enjoy. Let’s all make them today and not do anything else. It’s snowing here. Can I get an amen?
