Phil’s official fall cookie recommendation

It’s no surprise Phil has a sweet tooth, and on this morning’s show, he found what he calls the official cookie for October.

Whether or not that title is true still has to be tested (and tasted), but he claims he’s trying the recipe this weekend with a twist!

Before diving into a lengthy post about how we came across this recipe while reminiscing about childhood memories and slowly watching the first leaves of fall gracefully land on the ground, we’ll just share what you need to know below!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 2 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup coconut

Directions:

• Preheat over to 350. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
• In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until well mixed. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Beat in the oatmeal, crispy rice cereal and coconut.
• Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pans, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown (12-15 minutes) rotating the sheets halfway through.
• Let the cookies cool on the pan before removing. Then enjoy!
