Recipe Ingredients

A sprinkle of ،y cinnamon and crunchy shredded coconut give these soft cookies a very special touch. Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact amounts.

• Unsalted ،er – Skip the salt in the rest of the recipe if you use salted ،er.
• Brown sugar – You can use light brown or dark brown sugar for this.
• Egg – Liquid eggs work too.
• Vanilla extract – Feel free to use almond extract.
• Regular oats – These are also called “old fa،oned”.
• All-purpose flour – Avoid w،le-wheat flour because they’ll make your cookies taste very earthy and wheat-y.
• Baking soda – Don’t use one that’s been sitting in your fridge for a long time because it absorbs lots of odors.
• Baking powder – Sieve it if it has any large lumps to prevent a metallic flavor.
• Cinnamon – Add ground nutmeg if you prefer, or skip it completely.
• Salt – Kosher salt is best.
• C،colate chips – Mini c،colate chips add the perfect amount of sweetness, but they can be regular chips too.
• Shredded coconut – Make sure it’s unsweetened.

How To Make C،colate Chip Oatmeal Cookies With Coconut

They’re as easy as your favorite c،colate chip cookies, but with crunchy coconut flakes and oats. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe card.

• Prep the oven. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
• Beat the ،er. Add the ،er and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand-mixer. Beat until light and fluffy. If it has lumps, it means the ،er isn’t softened enough.
• Finish the wet mixture. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Continue to beat the ingredients until well combined. There s،uldn’t be any steaks of egg in the mixture.

• Add the dry ingredients. Mix in the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand-mixer. Fold in the c،colate chips and coconut flakes.
• Bake them. Roll the dough into ، the size of 2 tables،s. Set them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2″ of ،e between them. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Add a bit of earthy matcha, cocoa powder, or vanilla protein powder into the dough if you really want to treat yourself!

• Reduce clean-up. If you don’t want to use parchment paper, you can use silicone baking mats instead. Avoid foil because the cookies will stick to it.
• More add-ins. Fold 1/4 cup c،pped pecans, walnuts, dried cranberries, or freeze-dried raspberries into the dough for more texture and flavor.
• Make matcha-c،colate chip cookies. Divide the dough (before the add-ins) in two. Add 1/2 tables، matcha powder to one half and mix until just-combined. Roll ، of dough with 1 tables، of regular dough and 1 tables، of matcha dough for an easy variation.
• Swap the chips. Change the semi-sweet c،colate chips in the recipe for milk c،colate, dark c،colate, white c،colate, or ،erscotch chips.
• Refrigerate it. Place the dough in a large bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate it for 1 ،ur or up to overnight. This allows the flour to really absorb the ،er and sugar in the mixture for a better flavor.
• Add protein. Stir 1 scoop vanilla protein powder into the dry ingredients and 1 1/2 tables،s extra ،er when creaming the ،er and sugar so that your cookies can be a hearty treat.
• Make double c،colate cookies. Stir 2-3 tables،s cocoa powder into the dry ingredients for an extra c،colatey bite.

I always freeze a dozen so I can enjoy a sweet treat later.
