Chocolate Chip Coconut Oat Cookies

Chocolate Chip Coconut Oat Cookies is a fun upgrade on a classic original. They are the new ‘it’ cookies in our house.

Today was a perfect Saturday. We didn’t have anywhere to go, and it was a nice change to just sit at home and chill.

The kids played nicely together and had ‘pajama day’. Chris worked on some college work and watched pre-season football.

For me?

I had some fun baking in the kitchen. Ah….kitchen zen. Relaxing and peaceful.

Therapeutic even.

Earlier in the week

I promised to make Chris some Chocolate Chip Coconut Oat Cookies earlier in the week but ran out of time and was not able to make them.

He has dropped hints a couple of times throughout the week about his ‘monster’ cookies.

You see, in our house, we call these monster cookies even though the title of this recipe clearly states Chocolate Chip Coconut Oat Cookies.

Why, you might ask?

Well, it’s because this recipe was inspired by an episode I watched of Pioneer Woman on the Food Network. I mentioned to Chris making these and asked if the would enjoy them.

He told me they sounded good minus the M&M’s, peanut butter chips, Rice Krispies and pecans.

Laughing, I pointed out that he basically wanted a chocolate chip cookie with oats.

When asked what else could he possibly enjoy along with chocolate chips and oats, he responded with, “I don’t know. Maybe coconut.”

Laughing, I said, “Ok. We will have monster cookies minus everything that goes in them.

Add oats and coconut.”

Seriously though, it’s like a naked monster cookie…

Right??

Preparing the Dough

To make this recipe, I use my favorite go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe and add 3/4 cups of dry instant oats and 1/2 cup of sweetened coconut flakes.

As I baked the first batch of these chocolate chip coconut oat cookies, I noticed my husband lurking around the kitchen, waiting for me to tell him the cookies were ready.

Because I like to place a few cookies to the side for photo taking, I mentioned that I had found the perfect cookies to use for this blog post.

Chris said, “Look now. You aren’t holding me back from my cookies!”

As the first batch cooled, he closely inspected each individual cookie before deciding which ones would make the cut.

Here is the recipe for Chocolate Chip Coconut Oat Cookies.
