More than your typical chocolate chip cookie – these Chocolate Oatmeal Coconut Cookies are full of oats, coconut and chocolate!
First of all, I want to thank everyone for their well-wishes for my husband. Things didn’t happen quite as we expected – the doctor got into his knee and found that there was too much damage to continue the surgery. He ended up scoping the knee, and so now it looks like my husband will need a full knee replacement sooner than expected.
I was looking through the photos I have not blogged about, and came across these cookies that I made about a month ago. I came across this recipe on This Week For Dinner.
These cookies contain everything I love in a cookie – chocolate, coconut, oatmeal – I knew that these would go over well at our house!! I made them, and of course we loved them.
Again, I only had quick cooking oats, but I would recommend making these with old-fashioned oats. It also called for mini chocolate chips, and I used regular chocolate chips because that is what I had. These are BIG cookies – and while you could always make them smaller, every once in awhile you need to treat yourself to a BIG cookie!!

- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
