Instructions
COOKIE DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350F. Place parchment paper onto a sheet pan or cookie sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix the butter, both sugars, and egg until the mixture is creamy. Use an electric mixer on high speed. This should take about 3 minutes.
- In another large bowl, combine the muffin mix, flour, oats, coconut, and pecans.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the sugar mixture. Mix well with a spoon or spatula until thoroughly combined.
- Drop by teasponful onto a sheet pan that is lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned. After baking, let cookies cool on a wire rack. Frost if desired.
LEMON BUTTER GLAZE DIRECTIONS
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, melted butter, and lemon juice. Mix with a whisk. When smooth, drizzle on top of cookies or put the glaze in a ziplock bag, cut off one corner of the bag, and squeeze glaze onto cookies.
Notes
- Do not overbake. The cookies should still look slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
- Old-fashioned oats create the best chewy texture. Quick oats will produce a softer cookie.
- Muffin mix brands can vary slightly in moisture and sweetness. If the dough seems dry, add 1-2 teaspoons milk.
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 20-30 minutes before baking.
- The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
