Alabama Cookies

Modified: Jun 4, 2023 · Published: Jun 17, 2010 by Anna · This post may contain affiliate links · 8 Comments

This is one of my older recipes. I'd forgotten about it, but I watched a move the other night called Bama Rush and it reminded me I had a recipe called Alabama Cookies. When I first posted this recipe I compared it to another recipe called 50 Good Cookies which also calls for oats, cereal and coconut (and is a favorite).

Alabama Cookies

Alabama cookies call for a little less flour, more egg and a lot more oats. The resulting texture is crispy-edged and chewy with little air pockets. They also have a deep rich flavor from the toasted nuts and coconut.

Here’s the recipe. You can use all butter, but the texture is better with half butter and half shortening.

Alabama Cookies

½ cup shortening (98 grams)
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter (114 grams)
1 cup granulated sugar (190 grams)
1 cup brown sugar firmly packed(200 grams)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1-½ cups unbleached all purpose flour (200 grams)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups regular oats
2 cups chopped pecans, toast before chopping
1 cup Rice Krispies
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degree F.

Beat the shortening and butter together until creamy. Add both sugars and vanilla continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat just until blended.

Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. By hand or using lowest speed of mixer, add to the butter mixture. Stir in the oats, nuts, Rice Krispies, toasted coconut and dark chocolate chips.

Drop dough by heaping teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 325 degrees for about 12-14 minutes or until edges are brown and cookies appear set. Let cool slightly on cookie sheets, remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

    These cookies look like *just* what I needed! I recently made some bar cookies that had oats and coconut and chocolate chips which I had *really* high hopes for---and they came out rather lackluster and unsatisfying. Was planning to tweak the recipe, but now I think I will try these cookies first...the sound great!

    I love when something free comes with something else.
    Do the Krispies stay crispy? I thought I made a cookie once (LONG AGO) and they didn't stay crisp, so I haven't really tried them in a cookie since.

    I need a cookie! These look so good. I guess I shouldn't be whining. I made strawberry shortcake last night. That's nearly health food though!! Haha!

    These cookies sound delicious - I love all of the inclusions. And bonus about the soup/cookie tubs!

    I have to admit I dropped by to see if you've made another batch of the German Chocolate Chip cookies, but I always enjoy seeing what you've come up with. These look delicious with so many great add ins. I've never tried Rice Crispies in cookies before but if they hold on to their crunch, I definitely want to try them sometime.
