GALLETAS MARIA RECIPE

Steps:

• Position 2 racks in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats (If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches).
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Melt the butter in medium saucepan over low heat, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the brown sugar with a wooden spoon (the sugar will get soft and saucy, but there may still be a layer of butter on top; don't worry, the mixture comes together as you add the rest of the ingredients).
• Stir in the egg, then the flour mixture, taking care not to overmix.
• Stir in the coconut, oats and nuts to make a textured cookie dough.
• Set aside until it gets to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, or a tablespoon,scoop balls of the dough onto the prepared pans, arranging them about 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are golden brown with toasted edges, about 12 minutes.
• Cool cookies in the pans for a couple minutes then transfer with a spatula to racks to cool.
