Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• ¾ cup butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 ½ cups brown sugar
• 1 cup crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
• 1 cup oats

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg one at a time, allowing the first egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next egg with vanilla.

Step 3

Stir flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Beat into butter mixture until just incorporated into a dough. Fold oats, crispy rice cereal, and coconut into dough; mixing just enough to evenly combine.

Step 4

Drop cookie dough by teaspoonful onto baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until browned, 8 to 9 minutes. Cool cookies slightly on baking sheets before moving to cooling racks to cool completely.
