I know everyone is probably sick of cookies and cookie recipes, but NOT me! The holidays did not burn me out. Cookies hold a special place in my heart. They just make me happy…and my tummy happy too!
We had some friends over to watch a movie, so of course I had to bake a treat! I was in the mood for oatmeal cookies and they are Josh’s favorite too! I wanted something a little different though. This time I added coconut and chocolate chips! A divine combo indeed! We especially loved these with a glass of cold milk!! These are the perfect dunkaroos!

Me neither.. I am not sick of them.. I don’t think I ever will… I am a huge fan of coconut… coconut perfume.. you name it, if I could buy Hawaiian Tropic in a bottle I would…
Um.. So delish…
Maria, these look awfully good. Coconut and chocolate were made for each other. I love dunkaroos.
Great cookie combination. The coconut takes these to a whole other level!
Yum! I bet the texture and flavor is amazing!
Oooh — I bet coconut adds the perfect touch! Thanks for the heads up about cooking time — I am sure that I would overcook without that warning. Oh, and your scones from yesterday look seriously delicious as well!
Look at the center of the cookie, nice and soft just the way I like them!
This cookie combines all the things I love in a cookie and I bet the dough was tasty too!
This combination of ingredients makes my all time favorite cookie. Excellent recipe.
Ben will love these…his two food loves, other than bacon, are coconut and oats!
I don’t think I’ll ever be sick of a chocolate chip cookie! They look scrumptious!!
this is a great idea… they look yum… 🙂
And I thought I was the only one. It seems like everyone is dieting and not baking – not me! Bring it on!
Oatmeal chocolate chip are my favorite kind of cookies! I never thought to add coconut! mmm 😉 Hope you having a nice one.
I NEVER get sick of the cookie recipes! This one looks good, I will have to try it out this week. It was so great seeing you!! We will need to spend more time together when I come to Utah again. Guess what…? My parents have their house up for sale and are buying a house in Oakley. Random, huh?
OMG! Oatmeal cookies are my absolute favorite and these look beyond delicious!
I love cookies with coconut in them. THANKS!
Maria these sound soooo good! You are seriously the cookie queen! What I woul dgive to be your neighbor!
I stopped by to drool a little, well a lot. THose cookies sound amazing!
I should not have looked at these..yummmy! I love oatmeal, coconut and well chocolate! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Loved seeing your pictures of the snow – I just wish I was somewhere warm looking at them. 🙂
Those cookies are right up my alley! I love coconut, love chocolate chip cookies and love oatmeal cookies! You’re a woman after my own heart! haha
I love cookies with both coconut and chocolate together!
AMAZING cookies!!!
**Just as a heads up: I will not be able to comment on blogs as often now, during this semester, due to work overload (I’m stressed already) – PLEASE know that I’m still loyally reading, but just won’t have time to comment. I hope you understand!!
Oatmeal cookies are my favourite. And can be eaten when I wake up because… oatmeal!
Today I am baking with blueberries and lemon and it is all your fault. 🙂
We’re Twinkies today! We both talked about oatmeal cookies! 🙂
i’m fairly certain that i’ll never grow tired of cookies, and if i do, it’ll be a sad, sad day indeed. i love your combination of add-ins–very nice.
I’m not sick of seeing more cookie recipes, not at all!!!! Love all you’ve created so far! 😀
How fun to have a movie night. I’m glad these turned out well for you!
Sick of cookies, I’m not sure that can happen! These look great. Love the addition of coconut!
I can never get sick of cookies. And your look so good, especially with the added otmeal and coconut.
Who needs to diet?! Those cookies look amazing! I’m a big fan of coconut.
this is a healthy and delicious cookie. Coconut has healing properties, oatmeal is plain healthy and chocolate has antioxidants. Yeh!
I’ll never get sick of seeing cookies! Especially ones with coconut. 🙂
ooh, the coconut!! love it 🙂
Coconut in oatmeal ccc’s sounds great!
It would take a catastrophe for me to be TRULY over cookies. Me thinks it impossible. These look fabulous.
I made these last night and they are sooooo incredibly good! And dangerous! My boyfriend and I couldn’t stop eating them.
Making these right now! Yum!
I was looking for a good cookie recipe to use up the coconut I had and this is definitely it! I just whipped it up and have already sampled the first batch – delicious! I like the proportions of ingredients too – they don't overpower each other. 🙂
I had coconut chocolate chip cookies in portland the last time I was there and have been craving them over since! The dough is delish – the cookies were yum!
This, my friends, is an ideal cookie. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and a delicious flavor with a coconut crunch. Perfection!
Made these yesterday for the office – they were all gone a few hours later. The only thing I would do is add more coconut but thats just me. Oh and dont go past 12 minutes as the recipe suggest – any longer and you’ll have rocks.
I made these today while the baby was sleeping… Â and WOW! Â They were delicious – perfect combination and just the right sweetness! Â Thank you for sharing! Â Definitely a keeper!!
Glad you liked the cookies! They are one of our favorites!
Tried these today! Omg they are a BOMB! My hubby adores coconut and melted choc chips.
One remark – balls of dough did not melt into flat cookie shapes. I had to press them down with a fork half way through. And second batch was shaped into flat cookies from the beginning. Didn’t affect deliciousness of this miracle of course! Yuummmmmm!!!!
Glad you liked the cookies!
Just made these, they are delicious. Used toasted coconut flakes and they came out so yummy!
These cookies turned out amazing. They are soft and gooey and not starchy. Great recipe. Thank you!!
So glad you liked them!
I made those but they didn’t spread out when baked . I followed the recipe exactly. What would be the reason?Â
Was your butter too cold? Did you have too much flour?
I love this recipe. i have made i several times. It’s in my “go-to” recipe book
Thanks
The perfect oatmeal cookie! Easy, fast AND deliscious!
The perfect oatmeal cookie! Easy, fast AND delicious!
I have made this recipe. It has become my grandson’s favorite cookie! What’s not to love? Can’t go wrong with chocolate and coconut. Sometime I use a variety of chocolate chips… equally delicious.
Glad your grandson loves these cookies!
Amazing!!! This is one of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten! The texture was beyond perfect: chewy inside, a bit crispy on the outside, and melt in your mouth delicious! My partner said they were the best she’d ever eaten, like a Girl Scout Samoa, but wayyy better! Thank you SO much for this AWESOME recipe!!!Â
Yahoo! Glad you liked them. Thanks for letting us know!
Made these this morning. Â Flavor was good, I eliminated the white sugar and increased the brown sugar to 3/4 cup. Â As I don’t care for soft cookies, I increased the bake time to 18 minutes…still weren’t crisp enough for my taste. Â Otherwise, I like the flavor but wish they were crisper.
Just made these. Also added pecans and mini baking M&Ms. they are delish! Â Thank you
Just made these. Also added chopped pecans and mini baking M&Ms. delish. Ty
These were scrumptious! I added walnuts, too, and used Crisco because I was out of butter. Definitely make these and eat them!!
Just made these and they were great! Thanks for the recipe!Â
Super quick and easy to make and turned out perfect!!!
Do you recommend sweetened or unsweetened coconut for this recipe?
Hi! These have become my go-to cookies and have made me famous amongst friends and fam. Everyone adores them. Particularly delish when they are a couple of hours fresh out of the oven, but still yum the next day. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!Â
So, so good! Â I tried them with a half cup of chocolate chips and a half cup of caramel chips. Â Turned out so sweet and chewy and perfect! Â Thanks for the recipe; I will definitely keep using it!
Glad you liked the cookies!
These cookies are delicious! I used sea salt and Ghirardelli mini chocolate chips. Next time I’ll double the batch and cook a minute or two less. Five stars! Thank you!
If I could give these cookies a higher rating, I would. They’ve become a family favourite and I often make them – they go so quick I double it every time and make about 50 cookies! I chop up two blocks of Whittaker’s dark Ghana for the chocolate, and it takes the cookies to a new level of irregular chocolatey heaven :)) thank you for this recipe!
so happy you love them!
These are great! Easy to make. I also love that the recipe is for a good amount and not 4,5,6 dozen. For my personal taste they are a bit sweet. Do you think I could half the sugar in the dough and still maintain the integrity of the overall cookie? Thanks.
Trying them for the first time – I doubled the recipe, using two jumbo size eggs and then found I needed to add an extra egg to make it all come together. Love the idea of chocolate (yummy), coconut (chichis anyone) and oatmeal (git yer Scot on) in one cookie
