I made these oatmeal coconut chewy cookies cookies just once before last summer and I commented on my Pinterest board that these were one of my new favorite cookies. Why I haven’t made them again until now? Pure forgetfulness! But I had an urge for a different cookie on the weekend, these popped into my brain, and I’m sure glad they did. There’s a printable and easy-to-follow recipe below.
What you will need:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1½ cup shredded, sweetened coconut
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Cream together butter and sugars, until combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, beat until they are fully incorporated.
- Add baking soda and baking powder and mix.
- Add about ½ your flour, and mix until the flour is just incorporated.
- Scrape down the sides of your bowl, and then add the second half of your flour, mixing until just incorporated.
- Add oats and coconut, mixing until they’re mixed in nicely.
- Use a cookie scoop or roll the dough by hand into little 1" balls.
- Place the dough balls on a silicone- or parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2" apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are just slightly brown, but the center is still light and gooey looking---this is what makes it moist and chewy!
- Let the cookies finish cooking on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a cooling rack.

These cookies are soft and chewy and have just the right amount of coconut! I love coconut…so there could always be more, but my husband doesn’t care for coconut but still loves these cookies! I chose to take pictures of these cookies on nice, spring colors…willing spring to come! If you make these let me know in the comments and what you think!

these look sooooooooooooo good! pinning!
These sound yummy! We are a dairy free family due to an allergy, and one thing I love about coconut recipies, is subbing coconut oil for butter doesn't make them taste off, it just makes them taste more 🙂 These might have to go on the list.
Yes I bet substituting with coconut oil would make these even better!
Yum! I love coconut!!!
