Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup old-fashioned oats
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
– 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating well to combine.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the oats, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
7. Remove the baked cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, store the Vintage Girl Scout Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They also freeze well for longer storage.
