Do I need to toast the coconut or nuts first?

No need! Everything toasts up perfectly while baking, which keeps this recipe easy and low-fuss.

Do these cookies spread?

They spread moderately. If you'd like thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking and don't flatten them.

What does cream of tartar do in cookies?

Cream of tartar helps create a tender, chewy texture and adds a very slight tang. It also stabilizes the cookie as it bakes.

Can I use quick oats?

Rolled oats are best for texture. Quick oats can work in a pinch, but will create a softer, less hearty cookie.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes! You can refrigerate the dough for up to 2 days. When you're ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes if it's too firm to scoop.

In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
