These Chocolate Chip Cookies with Oatmeal & Coconut combine the chewy texture of oats and the tropical flavor of shredded coconut with classic semisweet chocolate chips. Perfectly golden with soft centers, these cookies deliver a delightful twist on a traditional favorite, ideal for an easy homemade treat or dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning throughout the dough.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which helps create a tender texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until fully combined, adding moisture and enhancing flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid over-mixing, which can toughen the cookies.
  6. Fold in Oats, Coconut, and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the rolled oats, shredded sweetened coconut, and semisweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop Dough: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain soft and chewy.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set without breaking.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for optimal creaming consistency.
  • Parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Do not overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to keep cookies tender.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and allow residual heat to finish the baking on the sheet.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
