Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies {My Favorite Co

• servings: 36 servings
• active time: 25 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup (100 g) old-fashioned rolled oats

2 1/4 cups (320 g) all-purpose flour (I use unbleached all-purpose flour)

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup (227 g) salted butter (softened)

1 1/4 cups (265) packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup (100 g) packed dark brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 cup (85 g) sweetened or unsweetened coconut flakes (by my calculations of weight on bag 1 cup would be 120 g) (I used 100 g)

2 cups (340 g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt to a food processor or blender and process for about 30 seconds until coarsely blended. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer, add the butter and brown sugars and mix until light in color, 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix for another 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add the blended dry ingredients and mix once or twice (not all the flour will be fully combined). Add the coconut and chocolate chips and mix until no dry streaks remain.

Shape the cookie dough into balls (I use a #40 cookie scoop) and place several inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool slightly before removing them from the pan to a wire rack.

Notes

6/2025-the cookies spread a bit more than I wanted so maybe I should have chilled them a bit since it was a hot day. I tried increasing temp to 375 but I didn’t like the results. They have great flavor!!

**I since learned Mel’s altitude is 2500 ft but PG is 4620 ft so probably need to add more flour so they don’t flatten!! 6/14/25

Cookies: if your cookies are flattening more than you like, increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees or use convection setting if your oven has it (325 degrees).
