Photo: Beachcomber Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (1/2 pound), room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup toasted flaked unsweetened coconut
- 3/4 cup finely chopped toasted pecans
Directions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle. Place flour, baking powder salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl and whisk to combine; set aside.
Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat over medium speed until mixture resembles wet sand and is airy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, letting each fully incorporate before adding the next. Add vanilla extract. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture in 2 parts, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and mix until evenly combined.
Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets, spaced about 1-inch apart. Bake until cookies are puffed, set, and tops and undersides are golden brown, rotating sheets halfway through, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool on sheets 2 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

I have made these cookies several times and have given them to others to eat. I have had nothing but positive comments about these cookies. The texture is lovely, the combination of flavors is such a nice spin from standard cookies. I used sweetened coconut and toasted it myself. I pressed my cookies down, but they were not as flat as Aida's. I use a medium cookie scoop when I make these. They freeze well too. A very hearty cookie!

I made these cookies after watching ask Aida. I did not have the trouble that the other reviews experienced. They turned out moist and chewy and remainded that way for several days. I did use sweetened coconut that I tosted myself, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. They were delicious and my family loved them! I will definatly make them again.

I made these cookies according to the recipe and found them to have OK flavor, but they were hard, even right out of the oven. The next day they were harder and very dry. I agree with the previous reviewer that if you want cookies with this flavor you should add the ingredients to your chocolate chip cookie recipe.
