How to make some “paw”some German Cookies!


How to make some “paw”some German Cookies!*
My mom last weekend made cookies from a magazine called “Better Homes and Gardens” but changed around the recipe! You can change it too!
In order to make them**, you will need:
¼ cup of butter (softened), ¾ cup of packed brown sugar, ½ tsp of baking soda, 1/8 tsp of salt, 1 egg, 1 tsp of vanilla, 2/3 cup of flower, 2/3 cup of rolled oats, ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 oz of sweet chocolate chips, 1/3 cup of flaked coconut & 1/3 of chopped walnuts.
Now that we have all of the ingredients down, lets tell you how to make them!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
3.Add the brown sugar, baking soda and salt
4.Beat until well combined.
5.Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
6.Beat in flour.
7.Stir in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and nuts.
8.Then stir in the coconut (The dough will be thick).
9. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
10.Bake from 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges are just firm and tops are set.
11.Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet.
12.And last but not least, transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
13. Enjoy!
I really enjoy eating these cookies. I love how they're chocolaty. But they always make crumbs! Oh well! Anyways, on a scale from 1 to 10... I give it a... 8!
The reason I only gave it a 8 was because you can barely taste the coconut! well, I hope you enjoy the cookies!

*WARNING! CONTAINS NUTS!
** MAKES ABOUT 30-35 COOKIES.
