Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies #2
Description
These homemade cookies capture the nostalgic taste of the famous mail-order treat, featuring a unique twist with flaked coconut. The dough is rich with butter and corn oil, creating a tender crumb that holds its shape while remaining incredibly soft inside. Sweet vanilla and brown sugar provide a deep caramel flavor, complemented by the salty crunch of pecans and the melty richness of semi-sweet chocolate chips. These cookies are perfect for afternoon tea, packing in lunchboxes, or sharing with friends. They bake up golden brown on the edges with a gooey center, offering a delightful texture contrast in every bite. Easy to make with pantry staples, this recipe yields a batch that freezes beautifully for later enjoyment.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter (or margarine), corn oil (or Crisco), packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
-
Stir in the flaked coconut, broken pecans, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze unbaked dough balls for later baking.
