"We liked these very much and they were very easy to prepare. They have a good, old-fashioned taste. I couldn't find macadamia nuts, probably because I live in a small town, so I used almonds instead."
Barb Rudyk, mom of Henry, 16, Vermilion, Alta.
Servings
Makes 24 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 6 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp cane sugar syrup or light corn syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions

  1. Arrange the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Heat the oven to 350-deg. F (180-deg. C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, coconut, nuts and baking powder.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, syrup, 2 tbsp warm water and vanilla. Pour the liquid mixture over the flour mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir until well blended.

  4. Using your hands or a mini ice-cream scoop, shape the dough into 1-1/4-inch balls. Arrange the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Press down on each ball to flatten slightly.

  5. Bake one sheet at a time, until the cookies are golden brown, about 13 minutes. Using potholders, move the cookie sheet to the cooling rack to cool completely.
