Ingredients
1 3/4 cup grated sweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup guava or other jam
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the grated coconut in a shallow bowl and set aside. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and oats in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then beat in the eggs and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
- To shape cookies, roll the batter between your hands to form balls the size of a large walnut. Roll in the grated coconut to coat then place on the cookie sheet and flatten to 2-inch circles with the palm of your hand. With your thumb, make a depression in the center of each and fill with a generous teaspoonful of jam. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer to racks to cool.
