Coconut White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Last weekend we finished building our patio and backyard fence. I say we, but Josh did most of the work. I helped with little things, but Josh didn’t want me lifting or getting too exhausted. He is very protective of his pregnant wife and baby:) So I spent most of the day in the kitchen. I wanted to contribute in some way so I baked Coconut White Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Josh deserved a treat after all of his hard work.
These cookies are super soft because I added Coconut Creme pudding mix to the dough. I know, I am obsessed with pudding cookies. I can’t help it. I love the texture the pudding adds. I also stirred in coconut and white chocolate chunks. These cookies are sweet and summery! I always enjoy coconut and white chocolate together and the combination is heavenly in these cookies.
Josh was thrilled to come inside to a plate of warm cookies and a glass of cold milk. I am glad my cookie contribution made his day better. I will post pictures of our patio soon. We still need to plant flowers and shrubs, but it keeps raining. I am hoping these Coconut White Chocolate Chunk Cookies will help bring us some summer sun:)

These look awesome. White chocolate and coconut are an amazing combo. And how cool that it uses a pudding mix.

I have lots of practice making cookies:) Thanks!
Sounds like a great combination and cookie!
You got the best job, anyway! I love both white chocolate and coconut so I know I’d love these! I bet they’d be awesome with a little orange zest!!
This looks great! I have to bring a “tropical” dessert to a picnic this weekend, so I’m going to add some lime zest and chopped macadamia nuts to this too. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
Mouthwatering cookies! A lovely combination.
Cheers,
Rosa
Your cookies always look the best, Maria!! Yum!

Thanks Lesley!
I love coconut in cookies, it seems to make them more chewy and the more chewy, the better for me
Coconut and white chocolate really is the best combination ever. I haven’t tried pudding cookies yet, but this sounds like the perfect opportunity!
How do you like your beater blade? I really want to get one but I want to know it works before I spend $20 on a single-purpose kitchen item.

I LOVE my beater blade. I use it all of the time. I think it is worth it:)
I love the combo of white chocolate and coconut! What a lovely, creative cookie. Great job!
I don’t know that I’ve seen coconut pudding before, not that I’ve looked for it. What a smart idea adding it to cookies! Coconut is one of my favorite flavors!
Wow. What is there not to like, pudding, coconut, white chocolate. Ok, heading to the store now. Thanks
pudding cookies really are the best – they’re SO soft! We love them.
I love coconut and white chocolate together. i’m going to have to try these soon.
White chocolate and coconut are a great combination and I love soft cookies, I will have to look for that pudding mix and give these a try!
Maria these look amazing! I love that you added a box of Jello pudding mix (bet that makes them so delish and moist) and I love white choc!!!
They look and sound fantastic!! Love that Josh is so protective of his sweet wife!
I haven’t tried pudding in cookies yet. They look scrumptious.
Coconut and white chocolate? Yes, please!!
love all your cookie recipes! white chocolate and coconut are a match made in heaven
These look amazing!!
Coconut & white chocolate is always a great pairing
xo
This would be the BEST prize after a day of heavy lifting! I love the idea of a coconut/white chocolate combo!
Yum- I love the addition of pudding. This cookie would be fantastic on vacation, washed down with a pina colada (virgin)!
I bet he was SO grateful to come into the house and find these babies! Coconut Creme pudding mix? What a great add in. Can’t wait to see the patio
We’re thinking of trying to put in a screened in porch before the baby comes…clock is ticking 
You always have the best looking cookie recipes! You really need to write a cookie cookbook.
Pudding cookies are amazing, I couldn’t agree more. Smart thinking using coconut creme- can’t wait to try these!
My husband is having a minor surgery on Monday so I’m going to make these this weekend so I have a good stash of treats to feed him while he’s recovering next week! I also know these will be a big hit at work, so I may have to make a double batch.
Coconut and white chocolate sounds awesome, I’ve only ever put the two together in a carrot cake (white chocolate frosting) but that doesn’t count. And your husband is a lucky guy. I would build an entire house, with my bare hands, for someone willing to bake me cookies…sure it might be a bit lopsided…. and made out of lego, but it’s the thought right?
They look wonderful, a well-deserved post-patio treat!
What a sweet husband, and I can’t wait to see the patio!
I haven’t put pudding in cookies for a few years, but not sure why, because they were always good. Love these with coconut. I didn’t even know there was a coconut pudding.
White chocolate and coconut sounds like a very yummy combination!
my mouth is officially watering!
My brain turned the title into a mini tongue twister – so many c’s
Love all of the white and summery aspects – so fun!
Oh how I love coconut and white chocolate together. I definitely agree that this is a summer cookie. We should all bake some so summer can arrive quicker!
These look great and a bit tropical!
mmmm, looks good
I made some yummy coconut cupcakes for the bake sale this past weekend but couldn’t figure out how to use the rest of the coconut. Problem solved!
Yum, white chocolate and coconut are so good together!
