Soft Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup solid vegetable oil-butter spread (such as Smart Balance sticks), softened
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped unsalted almonds
• 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt (optional)

Directions

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

Beat brown sugar, vegetable oil butter spread, and egg with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Add coconut, flour, and oats; stir until just moistened. Fold in chocolate chips, almonds, and yogurt.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 9 to 11 minutes.
