White-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
- Makes about 4 dozen
A glass of milk is the ideal accompaniment to these flavorful cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups white-chocolate chunks
- 1 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (about 4 ounces & optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Put butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Stir in vanilla.
- Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Gradually stir into butter mixture until combined. Stir in oats, chocolate, coconut, raisins, and walnuts.
- Drop batter by heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Bake cookies until golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.
Note: Cookies may take only 10-12 minutes to bake.
Note: Break up three 4 ounce white-chocolate baking bars into chunks if prepackaged white-chocolate chunks are not available.
