Pin ItCookies hold a special place in my heart. They just make me happy…and my tummy happy too! I have A LOT of favorite recipes, but these Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are at the very top of the list. I have been making them since I was little so there is the nostalgic factor, but they are also VERY delicious.
This cookie recipe is a good one to have in your regular repertoire. They turn out perfect every time, everyone loves them, and they are a classic. You can’t go wrong!
The cookies are soft, chewy, sweet, and have the perfect amount of coconut and chocolate. I use sweetened coconut and semi-chocolate chips, but if you prefer milk or dark chocolate, go for it! The cookies are great on their own or dunked in a glass of cold milk!
Make a batch TODAY! I know you will LOVE them!
And you can double the recipe, I often do because these cookies never last long:)
How to Store
The cookies will keep in an airtight container on the counter for up to four days. You can also freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Place in a freezer bag or freezer container and freeze. They are good frozen or you can let them come to room temperature.
If you want to freeze the cookie dough, shape the dough into balls and place the balls on a baking sheet or tray. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or until balls are hard. Transfer to a freezer bag or freezer container and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake! You don’t have to defrost the dough, just add a few minutes to the baking time.
FAQ
I prefer old fashioned oats for this recipe.
I like to use sweetened coconut flakes, but unsweetened will work too.
I like to use unsalted butter so I can control the amount of salt in the recipe. If you only have salted butter, you can use it, just adjust the salt to your taste.
I like semi-sweet and Guittard is my favorite brand. You can use milk or dark chocolate chips. You can even try white chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut butter chips!

These are excellent. I always double them and sometimes freeze half of rhe balls to make later.
We love them too!
Can I replace the egg for flax egg instead? Will I need to rest the dough before baking?
I have trouble finding cookie recipes that I like. These are fantastic. Thank you for an awesome recipe!
A favorite at our house too!
I am always looking for good recipes I can convert to gf. These are delicious and did really well with the cup4cup flour. Thanks for a simple yet delicious alternative to regular chocolate chip cookies.
Glad you loved the cookies!
A really sweet salty cookie. I added less coconut and chips and subbed in some pecans. Definitely cook these until they are golden brown all over or they will be doughy in the middle and undercooked. Hubby was so happy with these cookies and a mug of milk. Thank you
I am glad you liked the cookies.
What if my chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal cookies are not sticking together. What can I add—coconut oil or more peanut buttet. Help!
Simple and Scrumptious !!!
I did add a cup of chopped walnuts, successfully and cookies looked so much like your picture and where chewy with a “coconut maroon” type taste and texture.
I also used my favorite dark chocolate chip.
Deeply appreciated your share Maria and Josh !!!
Glad you loved the cookies!
These are DELICIOUS!!
But I wanted to ask why our cookies are bigger and more cake-like? We prefer them tk be thinner and crunchier….any ideas why?
Thank you! You can make them smaller if you want!
Hi, these look delicious. Question,
Do I use dark or light brown sugar?
Thanks!
Rita
I use light, but dark will work too!
Been waiting to make these, spring break with kiddo was perfect time. These are like fancy oatmeal cookies the coconut just gives it that little extra something! May try to replace chocolate chips with raisins next time…
Thank you
Glad you loved them!
Can you make these cookie bars?
I haven’t tried, but I bet it would work!
I used to make something like this and can’t believe I had forgotten the recipe! My kids raved over these cookies. I’m going to give this a try as they are so close to what I used to do. I think I had modified a Betty Crocker recipe into this type when I was a teenage, like 50 years ago.
They are so good. Enjoy!
These turned out great! I was missing brown sugar so I added 1 cup of white sugar +1tbs pomegranate molasses and then also added 1 cup of hemp seeds. they turned out soooo good! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
loved it! I added 3/4 cup of raisins.
I always love adding raisins:)
Everybody loved them. Delicious and easy!
I am so glad. These are one of my all-time favorite cookies!
I love this cookies thank you very much
One of my favorite cookies!
This is one of the BEST cookie recipes ever! Although these cookies are delicious as is, I like to add an additional 1 tsp of almond extract and 1/2 cup raisins. I also do a combination of 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cane sugar, 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips and 2/3 cup 63% or 72% chocolate chips (Guittard choco. chips are my go to). I find these cookies are best when made into balls, frozen and then baked off the following day. I bring them to parties all the time and also made them as one of the desserts for our DIY wedding. People rave about them and always ask for the recipe!
Thank you for sharing your recipe! I hope my personal twists it inspire others to add their own flare.
Love your twist! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve added walnuts, raisins and topped with flaked salt. Mouth watering! Also have made vegan using a flax egg and plant based butter
YUM! Thanks for sharing!
