Bad news for people

The VP of our company called a meeting yesterday at our warehouse asking all to be a part. He informed us that in 30 days there will be a large layoff and only the core team will remain. Sad news for people. So in hopes of lifting people’s spirits, I made cookies! I had one fresh out of the oven last night and loved them. Try the goodness and see what you think. We’ll call them

 

“I might lose my job, but these are delicious Cookies”.

 

1 c flour

1 c quick-cooking oats

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

½ c packed brown sugar

6 T white sugar

¼ c butter

1 egg

¾ tsp vanilla

¼ c shredded coconut

¼ c finely chopped dark chocolate

Cooking spray

 

Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly grease the cookie sheet with cooking spray.

 

Combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cream the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well and then add in the vanilla. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients. Stir in the coconut and the chocolate.

 

Scrape dough onto floured surface and divide into 24 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. Flatten a bit. Bake 12-15 minutes or until light brown around the edges.

*I didn’t do the portions or the balls or the flattening, I just scooped with a spoon. They didn’t look as pretty but they tasted just as good!
