Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vancouver Island Oatmeal Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grab two baking sheets and give them a light greasing to prevent sticking. This little step will ensure your cookies come off easily after baking.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and a couple of pinches of salt. This aromatic blend will be the foundation of your cookie dough, so make sure it's well combined.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the softened margarine along with the white and brown sugars using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This is where the magic begins! Next, add in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully blended together.
Step 4
Now, it's time to bring the dry ingredients into the mix. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the buttery goodness until a dough forms. Once combined, gently fold in the quick cooking oats and sweetened flaked coconut. Be careful not to overmix; we want those delightful textures to shine through!
Step 5
With your dough ready, roll it into 1 1/4-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. This spacing allows the cookies to spread out nicely as they bake.
Step 6
Pop the baking sheets into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
