These cookies are a delightful twist on a classic, combining the rich flavors of coconut and oats with a hint of maple sweetness.
Combine the flour, sugar, oats, and coconut in a large mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Melt the margarine and maple syrup together in a saucepan over low heat.
Stir constantly to prevent burning.
Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water in a small bowl.
Ensure the baking soda is fully dissolved for even mixing.
Add the baking soda mixture to the melted margarine and maple syrup, stirring well.
The mixture may foam slightly; this is normal.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Mix until no dry spots remain.
Add the egg to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Ensure the mixture is cool enough to prevent cooking the egg.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Leave enough space between cookies for spreading.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Check the cookies at the 15-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
These cookies are perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
