Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup dark raisins
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the coconut oil and brown sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined. Beat in the flour oat mixture, one cup at a time, until just combined. On low speed, stir in the coconut, raisins, dried cranberries and apricots.
- Shape dough into large rounded tablespoon-size balls and flatten slightly on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops and edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown. Let cool at least 5 minutes on cookie sheets before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If your coconut oil is hard, go ahead and measure it solid and then microwave it until just melted and let it slightly cool before using.
